Two Gram-staining-positive, aerobic, non-sporulating bacteria forming short rods and cocci, designated MB1-7 and MB1-14(T), were isolated from the Taklamakan desert. The isolates could oxidize manganese (II) ions. The isolates shared 95.4-98.0% 16S rRNA gene sequence similarity with members of the genus Mycetocola. Although the isolates possessed chemotaxonomic properties similar to those of Mycetocola reblochoni, they were readily distinguished from this taxon by DNA-DNA relatedness and phenotypic characters. According to morphological and chemotaxonomic characteristics, as well as phylogenetic analysis and DNA-DNA relatedness, the two isolates represent a novel species of the genus Mycetocola, for which the name Mycetocola manganoxydans sp. nov. is proposed. The type strain is MB1-14(T) ( = CCTCC AB 209002(T) = KCTC 19753(T)).
两株革兰氏染色阳性、需氧、不产芽孢的短杆菌和球菌,分别命名为 MB1-7 和 MB1-14(T),从塔克拉玛干沙漠中分离得到。这些分离物可以氧化锰(II)离子。这些分离物与粘球菌属的成员具有 95.4-98.0%的 16S rRNA 基因序列相似性。尽管这些分离物具有类似于粘球菌属的化学生态特征,但它们通过 DNA-DNA 同源性和表型特征很容易与该分类群区分开来。根据形态学和化学生态学特征以及系统发育分析和 DNA-DNA 同源性,这两个分离物代表了粘球菌属的一个新种,建议将其命名为锰氧化粘球菌。模式菌株为 MB1-14(T)(= CCTCC AB 209002(T)=KCTC 19753(T))。
