Abstract:
A novel Gram-stain-negative, non-motile, ellipsoidal-shaped, red-pigmented, facultatively aerobic strain designated NE82T was isolated from mud sample from Jiugongli Lake in Inner Mongolia Autonomous Region, China. Optimal growth occurred at 28-33 °C (range 15-42 °C) and pH 7.0-7.5 (range 5.5-8.5) with 0% (w/v) NaCl (range 0-1.0%). Cells of strain NE82T were 0.4-0.9 μm in diameter, catalase-positive and oxidase-negative. Q-10 was the sole respiratory quinone and the major cellular fatty acids (> 10%) in strain NE82T were summed feature 8 (C18:1 ω7c and C18:1 ω6c). The polar lipids of strain NE82T were phosphatidylethanolamine, phosphatidylcholine, phosphatidylglycerol, an unidentified aminophospholipid and four unidentified phospholipids. The G+C content of the genomic DNA was 72.0 mol%. Based on the 16S rRNA gene sequence, strain NE82T showed the highest similarity (97.2%) to Roseicella frigidaeris DB1506T within the family Acetobacteraceae, thus representing a novel species of the genus Roseicella, for which the name Roseicella aquatilis sp. nov. is proposed. The type strain is NE82T (= KCTC 62412T = MCCC 1H00292T).
