Abstract |
A non-motile, pink-pigmented bacterial strain designated
IMCC25679T, was isolated from freshwater Lake Chungju of
Korea. Phylogenetic trees based on 16S rRNA gene sequences
showed that the strain IMCC25679T formed a lineage within
the genus Pedobacter. The strain IMCC25679T was closely
related to Pedobacter daechungensis Dae 13T (96.4% sequence
similarity), Pedobacter rivuli HME8457T (95.3%) and Pedobacter
lentus DS-40T (94.3%). The major fatty acids of IMCC-
25679T were iso-C15:0, iso-C16:0 and summed feature 3 (comprising
C16:1 ω6c and/or C16:1 ω7c). The major respiratory quinone
was MK-7. The major polar lipids were phosphatidylethanolamine
(PE), an unidentified sphingolipid (SL), an
unidentified aminolipid (AL) and three unidentified polar
lipids (PL). The DNA G + C content of IMCC25679T was 32.2
mol%. Based on the evidence presented in this study, the
strain IMCC25679T represents a novel species within the genus
Pedobacter, with the proposed name Pedobacter aquicola,
sp. nov. The type strain is IMCC25679T (= KACC 19486T
= NBRC113131T). |
