Aurantisolimonas haloimpatiens gen. nov., sp. nov., a bacterium isolated from soil

A Gram-stain negative, strictly aerobic and non-motile bacterium, designated strain BN130233^T, was isolated from a soil sample collected from Gyeongsangbuk-do, Republic of Korea. Colonies were orange in colour, with wet and smooth surfaces. Phylogenetic analyses based on the 16S rRNA gene sequences resulted in strain BN130233^T forming a cluster with members of the family Chitinophagaceae Kämpfer et al. 2011, while sharing the highest sequence identity of 91.2 % with Chitinophaga niastensis JS16-4^T. Good growth was observed at 20-28 °C, pH 7.0 and in the absence of NaCl. The major fatty acids were summed feature 3 (C16 : 1ω6c and/or C16 : 1ω7c), iso-C15 : 1 G, iso-C15 : 0 and iso-C17 : 0 3-OH. The respiratory quinone was MK-7. Major polar lipids contained phosphatidylethanolamine, an unidentified phospholipid, three unidentified aminolipids and eight unidentified lipids. The genomic DNA G+C content was 40.6 mol%. Phenotypic and chemotaxonomic characteristics together with 16S rRNA gene sequence analyses showed that strain BN130233^T was distinct from its close phylogenetic relatives in the family ChitinophagaceaeKämpfer et al. 2011. The strain is, therefore, proposed as a representative of a new genus and new species with the name Aurantisolimonas haloimpatiens. The type strain of Aurantisolimonas haloimpatiens is BN130233^T (=CCTCC AB 2017051^T=KCTC 42642^T).
