TAXONOMIC DESCRIPTION Wang et al., Int J Syst Evol Microbiol 2019;69:909–913 DOI 10.1099/ijsem.0.003212 Chitinophaga silvisoli sp. nov., isolated from forest soil Chunling Wang,1,2 Yingying Lv,2 Anzhang Li,2 Guangda Feng,2 Gegen Bao,1 Honghui Zhu2,* and Zhiyuan Tan1,* Abstract A Gram-stain-negative, rod-shaped and aerobic bacterium, designated K20C18050901T, was isolated from forest soil collected on 11 September 2017 from Dinghushan Biosphere Reserve, Guangdong Province, PR China (23 10¢ 24¢¢ N; 112 32¢ 10¢¢ E). Phylogenetic analysis based on 16S rRNA gene sequences revealed that strain K20C18050901T belongs to the genus Chitinophaga, and showed the highest similarities to Chitinophaga sancti NBRC 15057T (98.6 %) and Chitinophaga T oryziterrae JCM 16595 (96.9 %). The major fatty acids (>10 %) were iso-C15 : 0,C16 : 1!5c, summed feature 3 (C16 : 1!6c and/or C16 : 1!7c) and iso-C17 : 0 3-OH. The predominant respiratory quinone was menaquinone-7. The major polar lipid was phosphatidylethanolamine. The draft genome size of strain K20C18050901T was 8.36 Mb with a DNA G+C content of 44.7 mol%. The digital DNA–DNA hybridization and average nucleotide identity values between strain K20C18050901T and C. sancti NBRC 15057T were 31.40 and 85.82 %, respectively. On the basis of phenotypic, genotypic and phylogenetic analysis, strain K20C18050901T represents a novel species of the genus Chitinophaga, for which the name Chitinophaga silvisoli sp. nov. is proposed. The type strain is K20C18050901T (=GDMCC 1.1411T=KCTC 62860T). Chitinophaga Sangkhobol and Skerman 1981 emend. of 1972 mm. It is a hot spot area for the study of tropical K€ampfer et al. 2006, as the type genus of the family Chiti- and subtropical forest ecosystems. During our investigations nophagaceae K€ampfer et al. [1], was first described by of biodiversity of myxobacteria in forest soil of Dinghushan Sangkhobol and Skerman with Chitinophaga pinensis Biosphere Reserve, a yellow-coloured strain, designated Sangkhobol and Skerman 1981 as the type species [2]. K20C18050901T, was isolated from a forest soil sample Members of the genus Chitinophaga are Gram-stain-nega- (23 10¢ 24¢¢ N; 112 32¢ 10¢¢ E) collected on 11 tive, filamentous or rod-shaped and oxidase-variable. The September 2017. major respiratory quinone is menaquinone-7 (MK-7), the The bacterium was isolated according to the following predominant polar lipids are phosphatidylethanolamine method: 1 g air-dried soil sample was soaked for 12 h with À and unidentified polar lipids, and the main fatty acid pro- 100 µg ml 1 actidione to avoid fungicontamination.
