Luteimonas lumbrici sp. nov., a novel bacterium isolated from wormcast

A Gram-stain-negative, yellow-green bacterium, designated 1.1416 , was isolated from wormcast of . The strain was non-motile, rod-shaped, and grew optimally on NA medium at 30 °C, pH 7.0 and with 0 % (w/v) NaCl. On the basis of the 16S rRNA gene sequence and phylogenetic analysis, 1.1416 showed the highest degree of 16S rRNA gene sequence similarity to 26-35 (96.2 %), followed by G3 (96.1 %). The respiratory quinone of 1.1416 was ubiquinone-8 (Q-8), and its major cellular fatty acids were iso-C (39.8 %), summed feature 9 (iso-C ω9 or C 10-methyl) (18.6 %). The major polar lipids of 1.1416 were phosphatidylglycerol, diphosphatidylglycerol, phosphatidylethanolamine and six unidentified phospholipids. The genomic DNA G+C content of 1.1416 was 71.0 mol%. According to the results of the phenotypic and chemotaxonomic phylogenetic analyses, strain 1.1416 represents a novel species of the genus , for which the name sp. nov. is proposed, with strain 1.1416 (=KCTC 62979 =CCTCC AB 2018348 ) as the type strain.
