Abstract:
A novel bacterial strain, MC10 T , was isolated from a compost sample produced in a composting machine utilizing soil from Motobu-town, Okinawa, Japan. The isolate was Gram-negative, but produced endospores. These conflicting characters prompted a taxonomic study of the isolate. The isolate was examined using a combination of phenotypic characterization, cellular fatty acid analysis, DNA base composition determination and 16S rRNA gene sequence analysis. Phylogenetic analysis, based on 16S rRNA gene sequence comparisons, placed strain MC10 T within the genus Paenibacillus . As in other Paenibacillus species, the isolate contained anteiso-C 15 : 0 as the major fatty acid and the DNA G+C content was 47·0 mol%. However, 16S rRNA gene sequence similarity values of less than 95·6 % were found between this isolate and all members of the genus Paenibacillus . Based upon these results, strain MC10 T (=GTC 1835 T =JCM 12774 T =CCUG 50090 T ) should be designated as the type strain of a novel species within the genus Paenibacillus , Paenibacillus motobuensis sp. nov.
