Abstract
A catalase and oxidase-positive strain BA0156T was isolated from a cyanobacterial mat collected from the farmland mud cultivated with sugarcane from Ahmednagar, India. The 16S rRNA gene of strain BA0156T showed the highest percent sequence similarity with Hydrogenophaga borbori LMG 30805T (98.5%), followed by H. flava DSM 619T (98.3%) and H. intermedia DSM 5680T (98.2%). The strain BA0156T contained the major fatty acids, C16:0 (25.1%) and C17:0 cyclo (3.9%), whereas phosphatidylethanolamine and diphosphatidylglycerol were the major polar lipids. The OrthoANI and dDDH values between strain BA0156T and its closest relative H. borbori LMG 30805T were 84.6% and 28.3%, respectively. The DNA G+C content of strain BA0156T was 69.4mol %. Furthermore, the biochemical and physiological features of strain BA0156T showed a distinct pattern from their closest phylogenetic neighbours. The phenotypic, genotypic and chemotaxonomic characteristics indicated that the strain BA0156T represents a new species for which the name Hydrogenophaga crocea (type strain BA0156T = MCC 3062T = KCTC 72452T = JCM 34507T) is proposed.
