Abstract

A Gram-negative, strictly aerobic, non-motile, rod-shaped bacterium, designated THG-S6.8T, was isolated from soil in Incheon, South Korea. Based on 16S rRNA gene sequence, strain THG-S6.8T was moderately related to Massilia plicata 76T (97.3 %), Massilia dura 16T (97.2 %) and Massilia albidiflava 45T (96.9 %). Chemotaxonomic data revealed that strain THG-S6.8T possesses ubiquinone-8 as the predominant respiratory quinone, and summed feature 3 (C16:1 ω7c and/or C16:1 ω6c) and C16:0 as the major fatty acids. The major polar lipids were found to be phosphatidylethanolamine, phosphatidylglycerol and diphosphatidylglycerol. The DNA–DNA relatedness between strain THG-S6.8T and Massilia plicata KCTC 12344T and Massilia dura KACC 12342T was 38.7 and 40.5 %, respectively. The DNA G+C content was 66.8 %. These data, together with phenotypic characterization, suggest the isolate represents a novel species, for which the name Massilia humi sp. nov. is proposed, with THG-S6.8T as the type strain (=KCTC 42737T = CCTCC AB 2015296T).
