Echinicola jeungdonensis sp nov., isolated from a solar saltern

초록

A non-motile and yellow-pigmented bacterium, designated strain HMD3054(T), was isolated from a solar saltern in Jeungdo, Republic of Korea. The major fatty acids of strain HMD3054T were iso-C-15 : 0 (31.4%), anteiso-C-15 : 0 (23.5 %), iso-C-17 : 0 3-0H (14.2%), summed feature 3 (comprising C-16 : 1 omega D6c and/or C-16 : 1 omega 7C; 6.9%) and summed feature 9 (comprising iso-C-17 (:) (1)omega 9c and/or 10-methyl C-16 : 0; 6.0%). The major respiratory quinones were MK-6 and MK-7. The DNA G + C content of strain HMD3054(T) was 46.9 mol%. A phylogenetic tree based on 16S rRNA gene sequences showed that strain HMD3054(T) formed a lineage within the genus Echinicola. Strain HMD3054(T) was closely related to Echinicola vietnamensis KMM 6221(T) (94.3% 16S rRNA gene sequence similarity) and Echinicola pacifica KMM 6172(T) (94.0%). On the basis of the evidence presented in this study, strain HMD3054(T) represents a novel species of the genus Echinicola, for which the name Echinicola jeungdonensis sp. nov. is proposed. The type strain is HMD3054(T) (=KCTC 23122(T) =CECT 7682(T)).
