Abstract

A Gram-staining-positive bacterium, designated strain XN13T, was isolated from a soil sample collected from ALaShan National Geological Park in Inner Mongolia Autonomous Region, China and subjected to a taxonomic study using a polyphasic approach. Strain XN13T was found to have a range of chemical and morphological properties consistent with its classification in the genus Planomicrobium. Phylogenetic analyses based on 16S rRNA gene sequences revealed that strain XN13T was related to members of the genus Planomicrobium. The closest phylogenetic relatives were Planomicrobium okeanokoites NBRC 12536T, Planomicrobium koreense JG07T, Planomicrobium mcmeekinii S23F2T and Planomicrobium flavidum ISL-41T with 98.2 %, 97.8 %, 97.8 % and 97.7 % 16S rRNA gene sequence similarity, respectively. The major cellular fatty acids were anteiso-C15: 0, C16: 1ω7c alcohol, iso-C14: 0 and C16: 1ω11c. The predominant menaquinones were MK-8 and MK-7. The DNA G+C content was 40.3 mol%. The DNA-DNA relatedness values between strain XN13T and Planomicrobium okeanokoites KCTC 3672T, Planomicrobium koreense KCTC 3684T, P. mcmeekinii CGMCC 1.2724T, Planomicrobium flavidum KCTC 13261T, Planomicrobium chinense CGMCC 1.3454T and Planomicrobium glaciei CGMCC 1.6846T were 36 %, 30 %, 34 %, 29 %, 30 % and 31 %, respectively. The organism is different from recognized species of the genus Planomicrobium in several phenotypic characteristics. On the basis of phenotypic and genotypic properties, strain XN13T represents a novel species of the genus Planomicrobium, for which the name Planomicrobium soli sp. nov. is proposed. The type strain is XN13T (= CGMCC 1.12259T = KCTC 33047T).
