sp. nov., isolated from a procymidone-contaminated soil.

A novel Gram-stain-negative, strictly aerobic, non-spore-forming, motile with one polar flagellum and short rod-shaped bacterium, designated strain ZLT-5, was isolated from procymidone-contaminated soil sampled in Nanjing, Jiangsu, PR China. Growth occurred at 26-37 °C (optimum, 37 °C), at pH 6.0-9.0 (pH 7.0) and in the presence of 0-1.5 % NaCl (0.5 %). Phylogenetic analysis based on the 16S rRNA gene sequences showed that strain ZLT-5 belonged to the genus , with the highest sequence similarity to THG-DT81 (96.6 %), followed by DSM 21029 (96.5 %) and RP18 (96.3 %). The G+C content of strain ZLT-5 was 68.0 mol% (draft genome sequence). The average nucleotide identity value of the draft genomes between strain ZLT-5 and THG-DT81 was 75.4 %. Strain ZLT-5 contained ubiquinone-10 as the predominant isoprenoid quinone and -homospermidine as the major polyamine. The major polar lipids consisted of diphosphatidylglycerol, phosphatidylethanolamine, phosphatidylglycerol, phosphatidylcholine, phosphoaminolipid and sphingoglycolipid. The main cellular fatty acids (>10 % of the total fatty acids) of strain ZLT-5 were Cω6, summed feature 3 (Cω7 and/or C ISO 2-OH) and summed feature 8 (Cω7 and/or Cω6). Based on phylogenetic analysis and physiological and biochemical characterization, strain ZLT-5 is described as a novel species of the genus , for which the name sp. nov. is proposed. The type strain is ZLT-5 (=CCTCC AB 2018188=KCTC 62840).
