Abstract
A Gram-stain-negative, non-motile, aerobic and ovoid-rod-shaped bacterial strain, designated as 2C3345T, was isolated from soil of a mangrove nature reserve in Shenzhen, PR China and its taxonomic position was investigated. The 16S rRNA gene sequence of strain 2C3345T exhibited the highest similarity value to that of the type strains Thermomonas aquatica NBRC 113114T (98.4 %), Thermomonas carbonis KCTC 42013T (98.1 %), Thermomonas brevis DSM 15422T (98.0 %) and Thermomonas haemolytica DSM 13605T (97.9 %). Strain 2C3345T grew optimally at 28-30 °C, pH 7.0 and without NaCl. The predominant ubiquinone in 2C3345T was identified as Q-8. The major fatty acids of 2C3345T were iso-C15 : 0, iso-C16 : 0 and summed feature 9 (is0-C17:1ω9c and/or 10-methyl C16:0). The major polar lipids of 2C3345T were phosphatidylcholine (PC), phosphatidylglycerol (PG), diphosphatidglycerol (DPG), phosphatidylethanolamine (PE), an unidentified phospholipid, an unidentified aminolipid and two unidentified lipids. The DNA G+C content of strain 2C3345T was 69.9 %. The draft genome sequence of 2C3345T included 2 888 645 bp in total (N50=310 730 bp) with a medium read coverage of 388.6×and 21 scaffolds. In silico DNA-DNA hybridisation with type strains of species of the genus Thermomonas showed 24.4, 22.4, 24.1 and 23.2% relatedness to T. aquatica NBRC 113114T, T. carbonis KCTC 42013T, T. brevis DSM 15422T and T. haemolytica DSM 13605T, respectively. And the average nucleotide identity by blast (ANIb) values between 2C3345T and these four reference strains were 81.9, 80.0, 81.2 and 80.6 %, respectively, lower than the 95-96% threshold value for dividing prokaryotic species. On the basis of its phenotypic, chemotaxonomic, phylogenetic and phylogenomic properties, strain 2C3345T is considered to represent a novel species within the genus Thermomonas, for which the name Thermomonas mangrovi sp. nov. is proposed. The type strain is 2C3345T (=KCTC 92730T =MCCC 1K08335T).
