Abstract
A Gram-stain-negative bacterium, designated as YN2T, that is capable of degrading 1,4-dioxane, was isolated from active sludge collected from a wastewater treatment plant in Harbin, PR China. Cells of strain YN2T were aerobic, motile, pleomorphic rods, mostly twisted, and contained the water-insoluble yellow zeaxanthin dirhamnoside. Strain YN2T grew at 10–40 °C (optimum, 30 °C), pH 5.0–8.0 (pH 7.0) and with 0–1 % (w/v) NaCl (0.1 %). It also could grow chemolithoautotrophically and fix N2 when no ammonium or nitrate was supplied. Phylogenetic analysis based on 16S rRNA gene sequences revealed that strain YN2T belongs to the genus
Xanthobacter
and shares the highest pairwise identity with
Xanthobacter autotrophicus
7cT (98.6 %) and
Xanthobacter flavus
301T (98.4 %). The major respiratory quinone was ubiquinone-10. Chemotaxonomic analysis revealed that the strain possesses C16 : 0, C19 : 0 cyclo ω8c and C18 : 1 ω7c as the major fatty acids. The DNA G+C content was 67.95 mol%. Based on genome sequences, the DNA–DNA hybridization estimate values between strain YN2T and
X. autotrophicus
7cT,
X. flavus
301T and
X. tagetidis
TagT2CT (the only three species of
Xanthobacter
with currently available genomes) were 31.70, 31.30 and 28.50 %; average nucleotide identity values were 85.23, 84.84 and 83.59 %; average amino acid identity values were 81.24, 80.23 and 73.57 %. Based on its phylogenetic, phenotypic, and physiological characteristics, strain YN2T is considered to represent a novel species of the genus
Xanthobacter
, for which the name Xanthobacter dioxanivorans sp. nov. is proposed. The type strain is YN2T (=CGMCC 1.19031T=JCM 34666T).
