| Abstract | A novel strain DCY105T was isolated from soil collected from the rhizosphere of ginseng (Panax ginseng), in Gochang, Re-public of Korea. Strain DCY105T is Gram-reaction-negative, white, non-motile, non-flagellate, rod-shaped and aerobic. The bacteria grow optimally at 30°C, pH 6.5–7.0 and in the absence of NaCl. Phylogenetically, strain DCY105T is most closely related to Achromobacter marplatensis LMG 26219T (96.81%). The DNA G+C content of strain DCY105T was 64.4 mol%. Ubiquinone 8 was the major respiratory quinone, and phosphatidylethanolamine, phosphatidylglycerol, and dipho-sphatidylglycerol were amongst the major polar lipids. C16:00, C8:03OH and iso-C17:03OH were identified as the major fatty acids present in DCY105T. The results of physiological and biochemical tests allowed strain DCY105T to be differentiated phenotypically from other recognized species belonging to the genus Achromobacter. Therefore, it is suggested that the newly isolated organism represents a novel species, for which the name Achromobacter panacis sp. nov. is proposed with the type strain designated as DCY105T (=CCTCCAB 2015193T =KCTC 42751T). |
