Abstract
A Gram-stain negative, aerobic, rod-shaped, yellow-coloured bacterium, designated strain 17J28-1T, was isolated from soil of Jeju Island, Korea. Optimal growth was found to occur at 30°C, at pH 6.0 and in the absence of NaCl on R2A at 30°C. Strain 17J28-1T showed resistance to UV-radiation. The draft genome sequence of strain 17J28-1T is 4804,510bp long with a 49.4% G + C content. Phylogenetic analyses based on 16S rRNA gene sequences showed that strain 17J28-1T forms a distinct lineage within the family Chitinophagaceae (order Chitinophagales, class Chitinophagia) and is closely related to Cnuella takakiae (93.7% 16S rRNA gene sequence similarity) and Flavisolibacter ginsengiterrae (93.1%). In addition, genomic comparison using digital DNA-DNA hybridization (dDDH) and OrthoANI analyses between the novel organism and the members of the family Chitinophagaceae revealed identities of 65.5-74.1% and 18.1-28%, respectively. The predominant cellular fatty acids were identified as C15:0 iso, C15:1 iso G and C17:0 iso 3-OH and the major respiratory quinone as MK-7. Based on these data we propose that strain 17J28-1T (= KCTC 62223T = JCM 33202T) represents a novel genus and species in the family Chitinophagaceae, for which the name Pseudocnuella soli gen. nov. sp. nov. is proposed.
