sp. nov., Isolated from Soil.

An aerobic, Gram-stain-negative, catalase-positive, rod-shaped, and motile bacteria, designated as a strain WR6 was isolated from soil in Republic of Korea. Strain WR6 grew at temperatures of 10-37°C, at pH of 5.0-9.0, and at NaCl concentrations of 0-3.0% (w/v). Phylogenetic and 16S rRNA gene nucleotide sequence analysis confirmed that strain WR6 affiliated to the genus , with the nearest relative being ICMP 19557 (98.5%). The genome of strain WR6 was 5,035,462 bp with DNA G+C content of 62.6%. In strain WR6, Q-10 was sole ubiquinone; summed feature 8 (C7 and/or C6) and C cyclo 8 were predominant fatty acids; and diphosphatidylglycerol, phosphatidylglycerol, phosphatidylmethylethanolamine, phosphatidylcholine, and phosphatidylethanolamine were major polar lipids. Based on these polyphasic taxonomic data, strain WR6 represents a novel species in the genus . Accordingly, we propose the name sp. nov., with the type strain WR6 (=KCTC 92695 =NBRC 116021).
