Abstract
A novel anaerobic, rod-shaped, non-motile bacterium, designated strain ES005T, was isolated from tidal flat sediments near the rhizosphere of Phragmites australis at Eulsukdo Island, Republic of Korea. A polyphasic approach revealed that cells of the strain were Gram-stain-positive, catalase- and oxidase-negative, non-spore-forming rods. Phylogenetic analyses based on 16S rRNA gene sequences revealed that strain ES005T belonged to the family
Eubacteriaceae
, class
Clostridia
and showed the highest sequence similarity to
Alkalibacter mobili
s (97.52 %) and followed by
Alkalibacter saccharofermentans
Z-79820T (96.72%). The OrthoANI value between strain ES005T and
A. mobilis
was 69.67 %. Strain ES005T grew optimally at 33–37 °C, at pH 6.0–7.0 and in the presence of 1–2 % (w/v) NaCl. Growth in 12.5 % CO atmosphere was observed. Acetate and formate were end products of fructose fermentation and growth on CO. The major cellular fatty acids of strain ES005T were C14 : 0 (39.1 %) and C16 : 0 (26.6 %). The major polar lipids were diphoshatidylgycerol, phosphatidylglycerol and three unidentified phospholipids. The DNA G+C content of strain ES005T was 46.9 mol%. Based on the phenotypic, phylogenetic, genomic and chemotaxonomic features of the isloate, strain ES005T represents a novel species, for which the name Alkalibacter rhizosphaerae sp. nov. is proposed. The type strain is ES005T (=KCTC 25246T=JCM 34530T)
