A novel filamentous, spore-forming, Gram-stain-positive bacterium, designated SCAWS-G2T, was isolated from red soil in Jiangxi Province, PR China. The strain grew at 25–45 °C and at pH 4.0–7.0, and was able to tolerate up to 50 mM Zn2+. The complete genome of strain SCAWS-G2T was a circular chromosome of ~11.34 Mb, which contained four 16S rRNA genes with three sequence types (0.4–0.8 % differences). Phylogenetic analysis based on 16S rRNA gene sequences showed that strain SCAWS-G2T formed a distinct lineage within the order Ktedonobacterales , showing <89.2 % sequence similarities to the recognized taxa of this order. The whole-genome based phylogenomic tree separated strain SCAWS-G2T from the recognized families within Ktedonobacterales . The genome-wide average nucleotide identity values between strain SCAWS-G2T and the related type strains were <68.2 %. The strain can also be differentiated from the recognized families by a number of phenotypic characteristics. The polar lipids of SCAWS-G2T were diphosphatidylglycerol, phosphatidylglycerol, phosphatidylinositol, seven unidentified glycolipids and one unidentified lipid. The peptidoglycan amino acids contained ornithine, glycine, glutamic acid and alanine, and the cell-wall sugars were mainly galactose and rhamnose. The major fatty acids were C16 : 1 2-OH, C16 : 0 and iso-C17 : 0. Based on all these data, we propose that strain SCAWS-G2T represents a novel genus and species, Ktedonosporobacter rubrisoli gen. nov., sp. nov., within the new family Ktedonosporobacteraceae fam. nov. of the order Ktedonobacterales . The type strain of Ktedonosporobacter rubrisoli is SCAWS-G2T (=CGMCC 1.16132T=DSM 105258T).
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.
