A neighbour- joining tree based on 16S rRNA gene sequences showed that strain LL02T occupied a distinct phylogenetic position in the genus Novosphingobium and showed the highest sequence similarity with Novosphingobium resinovorum NCIMB 8767T (98.59 %). DNA–DNA relatedness between strain LL02T and its closest phylogenetic neighbours was ,70 %, which indicated that strain LL02T represented a novel species of the genus Novosphingobium. The DNA G+C content of strain LL02T was 67.72±0 mol%. The major respiratory quinone was ubiquinone Q-10. The polar lipid profile of the isolate corresponded to those reported for other members of the genus Novosphingobium (phosphatidylethanolamine, diphosphatidylglycerol, phosphatidylcholine, phosphatidylglycerol, phosphatidylmonomethylethanolamine and sphingoglycolipids), thus sup- porting its classification in the genus. Spermidine was the major polyamine. The major fatty acids were summed feature 3 (consisting of C16 : 1v7c and/or C16 : 1v6c; 40.13 %), summed feature 8 (consisting of C18 : 1v7c and/or C18 : 1v6c; 31.09 %) and C14 : 0 2-OH (23.16 %). The results obtained from DNA–DNA hybridization and biochemical and physiological tests clearly distinguished the isolate from its closest phylogenetic neighbours. Thus, strain LL02T represents a novel species of the genus Novosphingobium, for which the name Novosphingobium barchaimii sp. nov. is proposed. The type strain is LL02T (5CCM 7980T 5DSM 25411T). The genus Novosphingobium of the family Sphingomonadaceae, (HCH)-contaminated soil from Spolana Neratovice, Czech proposed by Takeuchi et al. (2001), belongs to the Alpha- Republic, a former producer of lindane. proteobacteria. It currently comprises 20 recognized Strain LL02T was isolated by the enrichment method of Ito species, including Novosphingobium sediminicola (Baek et al. (2007).

Serial dilutions of the enriched (1969) within TREECON W version 1.3b (Van de Peer & De culture were spread on W/10 agar containing 1.8 mM Wachter, 1994). A phylogenetic tree was constructed using technical HCH (Spolana Neratovice, Czech Republic). the neighbour-joining method of Saitou & Nei (1987) and After incubation at 25 uC for 15 days, a colony with a clear the resultant tree topology was evaluated by bootstrap zone of degraded HCH was selected and subcultivated analysis based on 1000 resamplings.

A polyphasic approach was used to (98.59 %) with Novosphingobium resinovorum NCIMB classify this bacterium taxonomically 8767T (Lim et al., 2007). 16S rRNA signature nucleotides characteristic for the genus Novosphingobium (Takeuchi 16S rRNA gene sequence analysis was carried out using the et al., 2001) were present at positions 52 : 359 (U:A), 134 universal primers 8F (59-AGAGTTTGATCCTGGCTCAG- (G), 593 (U), 987 : 1218 (A:U) and 990 : 1215 (U:G), thus 39) and 1542R (59-AAGGAGGTGATCCAGCCGCA3-9)as supporting its placement within the genus. described by Prakash et al.
