( 2018 ) Mucilaginibacter amnicola sp. nov., isolated from a freshwater creek. PMID : 29219806 DOI : 10.1099/ijsem.0.002518 Abstract >>
A pink-coloured bacterial strain, TAPP7T, was isolated from a freshwater creek in Taiwan. Phylogenetic analyses based on 16S rRNA gene sequences showed that strain TAPP7T belonged to the genus Mucilaginibacter and showed highest similarity with Mucilaginibacter ginsengisoli B4Y-8T (97.6 %) and Mucilaginibacter carri PR0008KT (96.9 %). Cells of strain TAPP7T were Gram-staining-negative, aerobic, poly-�]-hydroxybutyrate-accumulating and short-rod-shaped. Growth occurred at 10-30 �XC (optimum, 15-20 �XC), at pH 4-8 (optimum, pH 6) and with 0-1 % NaCl (optimum, 0.5 %). The predominant fatty acids were summed feature 3 (C16 : 1�s7c and/or C16 : 1�s6c) and iso-C15 : 0. The polar lipid profile consisted of phosphatidylethanolamine and several uncharacterized aminophospholipids and phospholipids. The major polyamine was homospermidine. The major isoprenoid quinone was MK-7. The DNA G+C content of the genomic DNA was 45.6 mol%. The DNA-DNA relatedness of strain TAPP7T with respect to Mucilaginibacter ginsengisoli B4Y-8T was less than 35 %. On the basis of the phylogenetic inference and phenotypic data, strain TAPP7T should be classified as a novel species, for which the name Mucilaginibacter amnicola sp. nov. is proposed. The type strain is TAPP7T (=BCRC 80976T=LMG 29556T=KCTC 52238T).
