Abstract

A novel Gram-stain-negative bacterium, designated as IM2376T, was isolated from the sediment of Hutong Qagan Lake in the Ordos, Inner Mongolia Autonomous Region of China. Phylogenetic analysis based on 16S rRNA gene sequence revealed that the strain IM2376T had the highest similarity with Roseinatronobacter thiooxidans DSM 13087T (96.2%) and Rhodobaca bogoriensis LBB1T (96.2%) of the family Rhodobacteraceae. Genomic relatedness analyses showed that strain IM2376T was clearly distinguished from other species in the family Rhodobacteraceae, with average nucleotide identities, average amino acid identities, and in silico DNA–DNA hybridization values not more than 74.1, 68.5, and 20.2%, respectively. The fatty acids were mainly composed of C18:1ω7c (64.9%), iso-C16:0 (16.3%), and C16: 1ω7c/C16:1ω6c (6.0%). The major polar lipids were diphosphatidylglycerol, phosphatidylglycerol, and phosphatidylcholine. The predominant ubiquinone was Q-10 (94.9%). The genomic DNA G + C content was 66 mol%. Based on all these results, strain IM2376T was considered a novel species of a new genus in the family Rhodobacteraceae, for which the name Rhabdonatronobacter sediminivivens gen. nov., sp. nov. is proposed. The type strain of Rhabdonatronobacter sediminivivens is IM2376T (= CGMCC 1.17852T = KCTC 92134T).
