Paeniglutamicibacter quisquiliarum sp. nov., isolated from midden soil waste

A Gram-stain-positive, irregular short-rod and non-motile bacterium, designated strain ABSL32-1 , was isolated from a soil sample collected from the Suphan Buri municipal solid waste disposal area. According to the results of a polyphasic taxonomic study, a novel species belonging to the genus was described. Strain ABSL32-1 grew optimally at 20-25 °C and at pH 6.0-8.0 in the presence of 1 % (w/v) NaCl. The whole-cell sugars were ribose, mannose and glucose. The peptidoglycan structure contained A4α peptidoglycan (Lys-Glu; A11.54). The polar lipids contained digalactosyldiacylglycerol, diphosphatidylglycerol, phosphatidylglycerol, unidentified phospholipids and two unidentified lipids. The major menaquinones were MK-9 and MK-10. The major cellular fatty acid was anteiso-C (70.1 %). Based on 16S rRNA gene sequence analysis, strain ABSL32-1 showed the highest similarity to DSM 20167 (99.5 %), followed by SPC26 (99.0 %) and AG31 (98.8 %). The genome of strain ABSL32-1 is 4.4 Mbp with a DNA G+C content of 66.0 mol%. The average nucleotide identity values between strain ABSL32-1 and the type strains DSM20167 , SPC26 and AG31 were 86.6, 74.7 and 83.6 %, respectively. On the basis of phenotypic, chemotaxonomic and genotypic properties, strain ABSL32-1 is proposed to represent a novel species to be named sp. nov. The type strain is ABSL32-1 (=TBRC 14976 =NBRC 115252 ).
