Noviherbaspirillum galbumsp. nov., a bacterium isolated from soil

A Gram-stain-negative, aerobic, non-motile and yellow-colored bacterium, strain 17J57-3( T), was isolated from soil collected in Pyeongchang city, Korea. Phylogenetic analyses based on 16S rRNA gene sequences revealed that strain 17J57-3( T)formed a distinct lineage within the familyOxalobacteraceae(orderBurkholderiales, classBetaproteobacteria). Strain 17J57-3( T)was the most closely related toNoviherbaspirillum humiU15(T)(96.4% 16S rRNA gene sequence similarity) andNoviherbaspirillum massilienseJC206(T)(96.2%). The draft genome size of strain 17J57-3( T)was 6,117,206 bp. Optimal growth occurred at 30 degrees C, pH 7.0 without NaCl. The predominant cellular fatty acids were summed feature 3 (C-16:1 omega 6c/C-16:1 omega 7c) and C-16:0. The major respiratory quinone was Q-8. The major polar lipids were diphosphatidylglycerol, phosphatidylglycerol and phosphatidylethanolamine. Biochemical, chemotaxonomic and phylogenetic analyses indicated that strain 17J57-3( T)represents a novel bacterial species within the genusNoviherbaspirillum, for which the nameNoviherbaspirillum galbumis proposed. The type strain ofNoviherbaspirillum galbumis 17J57-3( T)(= KCTC 62213( T) = NBRC 114384( T)).
