( 2013 ) Rhodomicrobium udaipurense sp. nov., a psychrotolerant, phototrophic alphaproteobacterium isolated from a freshwater stream. PMID : 23291882 DOI : 10.1099/ijs.0.046409-0 Abstract >>
Two strains (JA643(T) and JA755) of Gram-stain-negative, facultatively anaerobic phototrophic, bacteria capable of growth at low temperatures (10-15 �XC) were isolated from freshwater streams from different geographical regions of India. Both strains contain bacteriochlorophyll a and carotenoids of the spirilloxanthin series. Phosphatidylethanolamine, phosphatidylcholine, phosphatidylglycerol, diphosphatidylglycerol, an unidentified phospholipid (PL), unidentified amino lipids (AL1-AL6, AL9) and an unidentified lipid (L1) were the polar lipids present in both strains. The major cellular fatty acid was C18 : 1�s7c (76-79 % of the total). Bacteriohopane derivatives (BHD1,2), unidentified hopanoids (UH1-5), diplopterol (DPL) and diploptene (DPE) were the major hopanoids of both strains. The DNA G+C content was 64.2-64.5 mol%. 16S rRNA gene sequence-based phylogenetic analysis showed that both strains are closely related to the genus Rhodomicrobium and clustered with Rhodomicrobium vannielii DSM 162(T) (99 % sequence similarity). However, both strains exhibited only 46.1 % DNA-DNA hybridization with R. vannielii DSM 162(T). Strains JA643(T) and JA755 shared >99 % 16S rRNA gene sequence similarity and were >85 % related on the basis of DNA-DNA hybridization; they are therefore considered to represent a novel species in the genus Rhodomicrobium, for which the name Rhodomicrobium udaipurense sp. nov. is proposed. The type strain is JA643(T) (= KCTC 15219(T) = NBRC 109057(T)).
