Devosia insulae sp. nov., isolated from soil, and emended description of the genus Devosia

Abstract

A Gram-negative, motile, aerobic and oval-or rod-shaped bacterial strain, DS-56 T , which is phylogenetically closely related to the genus Devosia, was isolated from soil from Dokdo, Korea. Strain T grew optimally at pH 6.5-7.5 and 25 6C in the presence of 0.5 % (w/v) NaCl.A neighbour-joining phylogenetic tree based on 16S rRNA gene sequences showed that strain DS-56 T joins the cluster comprising Devosia species, at a bootstrap resampling value of 100 %.The levels of 16S rRNA gene sequence similarity between strain DS-56 T and the type strains of recognized Devosia species ranged from 95.4 to 96.4 %. Strain DS-56 T contained Q-11 as the predominant ubiquinone, unlike Devosia species, which contain Q-10 as the predominant ubiquinone. The novel strain also contained some fatty acids, including branched and hydroxy fatty acids, that are not detected in Devosia species. The DNA G+C content of strain DS-56 T was 66.2 mol%. On the basis of the phenotypic, chemotaxonomic and phylogenetic data, strain DS-56 T

Devosia pacifica sp. nov., isolated from deep-sea sediment

“…The genus accommodates Gramstain negative, rod-shaped, aerobic, oxidase-positive bacteria containing ubiquinone 10 (Q-10) or Q-11 as the predominant respiratory quinone. The DNA G+C contents of bacteria of the genus Devosia range from 59.5 to 66.2 mol% (Yoon et al, 2007). At the time of writing, the genus Devosia comprises 15 species with validly published names, which can be found in the LPSN (Parte, 2014), and the species 'Devosia lucknowensis' (Dua et al, 2013) with a non-validly published name.…”

The genus Vasilyevaea comprises two species with validly published names, which were isolated from water and soil, respectively (Yee et al, 2010).…”
