Abstract
The Gram-staining negative, oxidase and catalase negative strain KC-ST17T, isolated from saline-alkali land, was characterized using a polyphasic approach to determine its taxonomic position. Using 16S rRNA gene sequence analysis, the highest similarity of strain KC-ST17T was found with Nitratireductor pacificus CCTCC AB 209302T (97.2%). Cells are aerobic, non-motile, and rod-shaped. The isolate was found to be able to grow in NaCl concentrations of 0-4.0%. The assembled genome of strain KC-ST17T had a total length of 4.9Mb with a G + C content of 62.7%. According to genome analysis, strain KC-ST17T encodes genes involved in the reduction of nitrate to nitrite, which may play a role in the utilization of nitrogenous compounds from the soil as an immediate source of energy. Based on the phenotypic characteristics and phylogenetic analysis, strain KC-ST17T was confirmed to represent a novel species in the Nitratireductor genus; thus, the name Nitratireductor luteus sp. nov. was proposed. The type strain of this species was KC-ST17T (= KCTC 92119T = MCCC 1K07309T).
