Two Gram-stain-negative, aerobic, non-motile and rod-shaped bacterial strains designated 3A5MI-3T and RSS-23T were isolated from the Dragon-shaped Wetland System in Beijing Olympic Park, PR China. Strain 3A5MI-3T grew at 15–45 °C, pH 5.0–9.0 and with 0–2 % NaCl (w/v), and strain RSS-23T grew at 15-40 oC, pH 5.5–9.0 and with 0–1 % NaCl (w/v). Phylogenetic analyses of 16S rRNA gene sequences revealed that strains 3A5MI-3T and RSS-23T were members of
Bacteroidetes
and
Proteobacteria
, respectively. Phylogenetically closest relatives of strains 3A5MI-3T and RSS-23T were
Niabella pedocola
R384T and
Thermomonas aquatica
SY21T, respectively. The cells of strain 3A5MI-3T contained menaquinone MK-7 and phosphatidylethanolamine, and the major cellular fatty acids were composed of iso-C15 : 0, iso-C15 : 1 ω6c and/or iso-C15 : 1 ω7c, iso-C17 : 0 3-OH, C16 : 0 and summed feature 3 (C16 : 1 ω7c/C16 : 1 ω6c). Strain RSS-23T contained ubiquinone Q-8 and diphosphatidylglycerol, phosphatidylglycerol, phosphatidylethanolamine, two unknown phospholipids and an unknown lipid, and its major cellular fatty acids were iso-C15 : 0, iso-C17 : 1 ω9c, iso-C11 : 0 3-OH and summed feature 3 (C16 : 1 ω7c/C16 : 1 ω6c). DNA sequencing resulted in 6.59 Mb for the strain 3A5MI-3T genome and 2.79 Mb for the strain RSS-23T genome. The calculated G+C molar contents for strains 3A5MI-3T and RSS-23T were 47.07 and 61.21 mol%, respectively. According to phenotypic and phylogenetic characteristics, strains 3A5MI-3T and RSS-23T represent novel species of the genera
Niabella
and
Thermomonas
for which the names Niabella beijingensis sp. nov. and Thermomonas beijingensis sp. nov. are proposed. The type strain for N. beijingensis sp. nov. is 3A5MI-3T (=CGMCC 1.17737T=KCTC 82817T). The type strain for T. beijingensis sp. nov. is RSS-23T (=CGMCC 1.17738T=KCTC 82820T).
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.
