- Abstract
A Gram-negative, UV tolerant bacterial strain, DG7A, was isolated from soil samples collected in Seoul city, South Korea. The cells were grown on R2A agar at 25 °C and were pink to red in color. The DNA G+C content of the novel strain DG7A was 63.5 mol%. Chemotaxonomic data revealed that the strains contain the major fatty acids iso-C, anteiso-C, and summed feature 3 (16:1 ω7 c/16:1 ω6 c), with phosphatidylethanolamine as the major polar lipid. Phylogenetic analysis of the 16S rRNA gene sequences showed that strain DG7A formed a distinct phylogenetic line along with Hymenobacter soli PB17, and they shared approximately 98.35 % 16S rRNA gene sequence similarity. However, these two strains shared only 5.3 % pairwise similarity (reciprocal analysis, 36.3 %) in their genomic DNA. The next highest degree of 16S rRNA gene sequence similarity after H. soli PB17 was found with H. glaciei VUG-A130 (96.78 %), H. antarcticus VUG-A42aa (96.66 %), and H. saemangeumensis GSR0100 (96.57 %). Based on the phylogenetic analysis and analysis of the physiological and biochemical characteristics, this isolate was considered to represent a novel species, for which we propose the name Hymenobacter terrae sp. nov., with type strain DG7A (= KCTC 32554 = KEMB 9004-164= JCM 30007).
