Abstract

During our studies on the microorganism diversity from air of manufacturing shop in a pharmaceutical factory in Shandong province, China, a Gram-stain-positive, aerobic, cocci-shaped bacterium, designated LY-0111T, was isolated from a settling dish. Strain LY-0111T grew at temperature of 10–42 °C (optimum 35 °C), pH of 5.0–10.0 (optimum pH 7.0) and NaCl concentration of 1–12% (optimum 0.5–3%, w/v). Based on the 16S rRNA gene sequence analysis, the strain shared the highest sequence similarities to Nesterenkonia halophila YIM 70179T (96.2%), and was placed within the radiation of Nesterenkonia species in the phylogenetic trees. The genome of the isolate was sequenced, which comprised 2,931,270 bp with G + C content of 66.5%. A supermatrix tree based on the gene set bac120 indicated that LY-0111T was close related to Nesterenkonia xinjiangensis YIM 70097T (16S rRNA gene sequence similarity 95.3%). Chemotaxonomic analysis indicated that the main respiratory quinones were MK-7, MK-8, and MK-9, the predominant cellular fatty acids were anteiso-C15:0 and iso-C15:0, and the major polar lipids consisted of diphosphatidylglycerol, phosphatidylglycerol and phosphatidylinositol. According to the phenotypic, chemotaxonomic and phylogenetic features, strain LY-0111T is considered to represent a novel species, for which the name Nesterenkonia aerolata sp. nov. is proposed. The type strain is LY-0111T (= JCM 36375T = GDMCC 1.3945T). In addition, Nesterenkonia jeotgali was proposed as a later synonym of Nesterenkonia sandarakina, according to the ANI (96.8%) and dDDH (72.9%) analysis between them.
