Two Gram-staining-negative, aerobic, rod-shaped bacteria designated strains SR9T and UL070T, were isolated from soil and subjected to taxonomic characterization. Strain SR9T grew at 10–37 °C (optimum 30 °C), at pH 4.0–10.0 (optimum pH 8.0) and in the presence of 0–1 % NaCl (optimum 0 %), and UL070T at 4–33 °C (optimum 30 °C), at pH 4.0–10.0 (optimum pH 7.0) and in the presence of 0–2 % NaCl (optimum 0 %), respectively. Strain UL070T was motile with flagella. Analysis of 16S rRNA gene sequences indicated that the two strains fell into phylogenetic clusters belonging to the genus Pseudomonas . Both strains SR9T and UL070T were mostly related to Pseudomonas campi S1-A32-2T with 99.70 and 99.01% sequence similarities, and the similarity between the two isolates was 98.90 %. The genome-based in silico analyses indicated that each of the strains SR9T and UL070T was clearly separated from other species of Pseudomonas , as the orthologous average nucleotide identity (OrthoANI) and the digital DNA–DNA hybridization (dDDH) values were no higher than 93.09 and 50.03% respectively with any related species, which were clearly below the cutoff for species distinction. The fatty acid profiles of the two strains mainly consisting of unsaturated components, the presence of ubiquinone 9 (Q-9) as the major respiratory quinone, and phosphatidylethanolamine (PE) and diphosphatidylglycerol (DPG) as the diagnostic polar lipids were consistent with their classification into Pseudomonas . The DNA G+C contents of strains SR9T and UL070T were 63.2 mol% and 63.6 mol% respectively. On the basis of both phenotypic and phylogenetic evidences, each of the isolated strains should be classified as a novel species, for which the names Pseudomonas guryensis sp. nov. (type strain=SR9T=KCTC 82228T=JCM 34509T) and Pseudomonas ullengensis sp. nov. (type strain=UL070T=KCTC 82229T=JCM 34510T) are proposed.
A novel Gram-stain-negative, rod-shaped, aerobic and motile bacterium designated strain UL073T was isolated from a forest soil of an island, and subjected to taxonomic characterization. Strain UL073T grew at 10–37 °C (optimum, 30 °C), at pH 5.0–10.0 (optimum, pH 7.0) and in the presence of 0–3 % NaCl (optimum, 0 %), respectively. Strain UL073T showed the highest sequence similarity to Pseudomonas lalkuanensis PE08T based on 16S rRNA gene analysis with a sequence similarity of 98.08 %, which was well below the suggested cutoff for species distinction. The 16S rRNA gene tree as well as the multilocus sequence analysis and genome-based trees indicated the independent taxonomic position of strain UL073T, and the orthologous average nucleotide identity and in silico DNA–DNA hybridization values between strain UL073T and related species were no higher than 84.7 and 28.3% respectively, thus confirming the distinctive taxonomic position of the strain. The chemotaxonomic properties were consistent with those of the genus, as the major fatty acids of the strain were a summed feature consisting of C18 : 1 ω7c/C18 : 1 ω6c (31.4 %), another summed feature consisting of C16 : 1 ω7c/C16 : 1 ω6c (23.1 %), and C16 : 0 (22.0 %), the major respiratory quinone was ubiquinone 9, and the major polar lipids were phosphatidylethanolamine and diphosphatidylglycerol. The genome size and DNA G+C content of strain UL073T were 4.87 Mbp and 65.9 mol%. On the basis of phenotypic and phylogenetic evidence, strain UL073T should be classified as representing a novel species of Pseudomonas , for which the name Pseudomonas insulae sp. nov. (type strain=UL073T=KCTC 82407T=JCM 34511T) is proposed.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
