gen. nov., sp. nov. and sp. nov., moderately halophilic bacteria isolated from a neutral saline lake in Xin-Jiang, China Free

Abstract

Three Gram-positive, moderately halophilic, heterotrophic bacterial strains were isolated from a neutral saline lake in the Xin-Jiang area of China. The strains, designated 8-2, W11-1 and 25-7, were motile, spore-forming, aerobic rods and contained -diaminopimelic acid in their cell walls. Their DNA G+C contents were 37·4, 37·2 and 39·9 mol%, respectively. The main fatty acids in the cellular membranes of these novel strains were C and C methyl-branched. No species with validly published names showed 16S rRNA gene sequence similarity of more than 95 % with respect to these novel isolates; the most closely related species was a halophilic denitrifier, (94·6 %). Polyphasic taxonomic studies revealed that these strains belong to the and are distantly related to other genera of the family. It is proposed that a new genus, , should be created, with (type strain, 25-7=AS 1.3565=JCM 12389) as the type species. Another species, , is also proposed, with 8-2 (=AS 1.3566=JCM 12390) as the type strain.
