Abstract:
A Gram-stain-negative, facultative anaerobic strain, designated WSJ-3T, was isolated from soil. Phylogenetic analyses based on 16S rRNA gene sequences indicated that strain WSJ-3T belongs to genus Sediminibacterium and exhibits the highest sequence similarities to Sediminibacterium roseum SYL130T (97.0%), Sediminibacterium goheungense DSM 28323T (96.9%), Sediminibacterium aquarii AA5T (96.7%), and Sediminibacterium salmoneum NBRC 103935T (95.2%). The average nucleotide identity values of strain WSJ-3T/S. roseum SYL130T and strain WSJ-3T/S. goheungense DSM 28323T are 72.2% and 70.4%, respectively, and digital DNA-DNA hybridization values for these are 19.2% and 19.1%, respectively. Strain WSJ-3T has a genome size of 3.88 Mb, with a DNA G + C content of 50.1 mol% and comprises of 3263 predicted genes. A phylogenetic tree constructed using the genomic core protein coding sequences revealed that strain WSJ-3T clusters with S. roseum SYL130T. Strain WSJ-3T has menaquinone-7 as the only respiratory quinone and phosphatidylethanolamine, three unidentified phospholipids, four unidentified aminophospholipids, two unidentified aminolipids, and three unidentified lipids as the polar lipids. The major fatty acids of strain WSJ-3T are iso-C15:0, iso-C17:0 3-OH, and iso-C15:1 G. On the basis of the polyphasic results, the isolate represents a novel species of the genus Sediminibacterium, for which the name Sediminibacterium soli sp. nov. is proposed. The type strain is WSJ-3T (= KCTC 72839T = CCTCC AB 2019408T).
