Abstract
A Gram-positive, non-motile, rod- or coccoid-shaped Isoptericola-like bacterium, strain DS-3T, was isolated from a soil sample from Dokdo, Korea, and its taxonomic position was investigated by a polyphasic approach. The organism grew optimally at 30 °C and pH 7.0–8.0. Strain DS-3T had the peptidoglycan type based on l-lys–d-Asp, and galactose, glucose, rhamnose and ribose as the whole-cell sugars. It contained MK-9(H4) as the predominant menaquinone and anteiso-C15 : 0 and iso-C15 : 0 as the major fatty acids. The major polar lipids were diphosphatidylglycerol, phosphatidylglycerol, phosphatidylinositol and two unidentified glycolipids. The DNA G+C content was 74.1 mol%. Phylogenetic analysis based on 16S rRNA gene sequences showed that strain DS-3T was most closely related to members of the genus Isoptericola. Similarity values between the 16S rRNA gene sequences of strain DS-3T and the type strains of Isoptericola species ranged from 98.0 to 98.4 %. DNA–DNA relatedness values (11–23 %) and differential phenotypic properties demonstrated that strain DS-3T was distinguishable from recognized Isoptericola species. On the basis of phenotypic properties and phylogenetic and genetic distinctiveness, strain DS-3T represents a novel species in the genus Isoptericola, for which the name Isoptericola dokdonensis sp. nov. is proposed. The type strain is DS-3T (=KCTC 19128T=CIP 108921T).
