sp. nov., isolated from manganese mine soil.

Strain ZH6 is a Gram-stain-negative, rod-shaped, aerobic bacterium isolated from manganese mine soil. Strain ZH6 had highest 16S rRNA gene sequence similarities to YX-36 (96.9 %) and NH7-4 (96.8 %). The genome size of strain ZH6 was 4.61 Mb with a DNA G+C content of 44.0 mol%. The average nucleotide identity and digital DNA-DNA hybridization values between strain ZH6 and DSM 26809 were 70.6 and 19.2 %, respectively. Strain ZH6 had menaquinone-7 as a major quinone and main cellular fatty acids of iso-C, iso-C 3-OH and summed feature 3 (Cω7 and/or Cω6). The polar lipids of strain ZH6 were a phosphatidylethanolamine, an unidentified glycolipid, an unidentified phospholipid, three unidentified aminophospholipids and four unidentified lipids. Based on the phenotypic, chemotaxonomic and phylogenetic results, strain ZH6 represents a novel species of the genus , for which the name sp. nov., is proposed. The type strain is ZH6 (=CCTCC AB 2018373=KCTC 72075).
