Each strain showed higher 16S rRNA gene sequence similarity (>98.75%) and formed a robust phylogenetic clade with closest species of the phylum Actinobacteria which were defined with valid names, already. There is no official description on these 62 actinobacterial species in Korea. Consequently, unrecorded 62 species of 25 genera in the 14 families belonging to the order Actinomycetales of the phylum Actinobacteria were found in Korea. Morphological properties, basic biochemical characteristics, isolation source and strain IDs are described in the species descriptions.

  • Arthrobacter Paludis Sp. Nov., Isolated from a Marsh
    TAXONOMIC DESCRIPTION Zhang et al., Int J Syst Evol Microbiol 2018;68:47–51 DOI 10.1099/ijsem.0.002426 Arthrobacter paludis sp. nov., isolated from a marsh Qi Zhang,1 Mihee Oh,1 Jong-Hwa Kim,1 Rungravee Kanjanasuntree,1 Maytiya Konkit,1 Ampaitip Sukhoom,2 Duangporn Kantachote2 and Wonyong Kim1,* Abstract A novel Gram-stain-positive, strictly aerobic, non-endospore-forming bacterium, designated CAU 9143T, was isolated from a hydric soil sample collected from Seogmo Island in the Republic of Korea. Strain CAU 9143T grew optimally at 30 C, at pH 7.0 and in the presence of 1 % (w/v) NaCl. The phylogenetic trees based on 16S rRNA gene sequences revealed that strain CAU 9143T belonged to the genus Arthrobacter and was closely related to Arthrobacter ginkgonis SYP-A7299T (97.1 % T similarity). Strain CAU 9143 contained menaquinone MK-9 (H2) as the major respiratory quinone and diphosphatidylglycerol, phosphatidylglycerol, phosphatidylinositol, two glycolipids and two unidentified phospholipids as the major polar lipids. The whole-cell sugars were glucose and galactose. The peptidoglycan type was A4a (L-Lys–D-Glu2) and the major cellular fatty T acid was anteiso-C15 : 0. The DNA G+C content was 64.4 mol% and the level of DNA–DNA relatedness between CAU 9143 and the most closely related strain, A. ginkgonis SYP-A7299T, was 22.3 %. Based on phenotypic, chemotaxonomic and genetic data, strain CAU 9143T represents a novel species of the genus Arthrobacter, for which the name Arthrobacter paludis sp. nov. is proposed. The type strain is CAU 9143T (=KCTC 13958T,=CECT 8917T).

Miteva ID 83209, USA [email protected] 2Department of Biochemistry and Molecular Biology, Pennsylvania State University, University Park, PA 16802, USA A novel, psychrophilic, Gram-positive bacterium (designated strain LV3T) from a lake near the McMurdo Ice Shelf, Antarctica, has been isolated and characterized. This organism formed red-pigmented colonies, had an optimal growth temperature of 18 ˚C and grew on a variety of media between ”2 and 21 ˚C. Scanning electron micrographs of strain LV3T that showed small rods with unusual bulbous protuberances during all phases of growth were of particular interest. The G+C content of the genomic DNA was approximately 62 mol%. The cell walls contained ornithine as the diamino acid. The major fatty acids were anteiso-C15 : 0, iso-C16 : 0 and anteiso-C17 : 0. Cells grown at ”2 ˚C contained significant amounts of anteiso-C15 : 1. The major menaquinones found in strain LV3T were MK-11 and MK-12. Phylogenetic analysis of the 16S rRNA gene sequence indicated that strain LV3T was a member of the family Microbacteriaceae and related to, but distinct from, organisms belonging to the genera Agreia, Leifsonia and Subtercola.In addition, alignments of 16S rRNA sequences showed that the sequence of strain LV3T contained a 13 bp insertion that was found in only a few related sequences.

However, the knowledge of culturable bacterial communities found in this extreme ecotope’s soil is yet insufficient. Therefore, our research has been aimed to fulfil this lack of knowledge and improve the understanding of functioning of edaphic bacterial communities of the Central Mojave Desert soil. We characterized aerobic heterotrophic soil bacterial communities of the central region of the Mojave Desert. A high total number of prokaryotic cells and a high proportion of culturable forms in the soil studied were observed. Prevalence of Actinobacteria, Proteobacteria, and Firmicutes was discovered. The dominance of pigmented strains in culturable communities and high proportion of thermotolerant and pH-tolerant bacteria were detected. Resistance to a number of salts, including the ones found in Martian regolith, as well as antibiotic resistance, were also estimated.
