Abstract

Abstract : A novel Gram-negative bacterium, designated G2-14 T, was isolated from rhizosphere soil sample collected from apple orchard in Chungju-si, Chungcheongbuk-do, Republic of Korea. Strain G2-14 T was a strictly aerobic, non-spore-forming, non-motile and short-rod-shaped bacterium. Phylogenetic analysis based on 16S rRNA gene sequence showed that strain G2-14 T was closely related to Mucilaginibacter myungsuensis HMD1056 T (96.9 %) and Mucilaginibacter boryungensis BDR-9 T (96.8 %). The major cellular fatty acids (>10 %) of strain G2-14 T were summed feature 3 (C16:1 ω 6 с and/or C16:1 ω 7 с ) and iso-C15:0 . The predominant quinone and the major polar lipid were menaquinone-7 and phosphatidylethanolamine, respectively. Strain G2-14 T produced acetic acid. The DNA G+C content based on whole genome sequences was 46.4 mol%. On the basis of phenotypic, chemotaxonomic and phylogenetic data, strain G2-14 T represents a novel species in the genus Mucilaginibacter, for which the name Mucilaginibacter mali sp. nov. is proposed. The type strain is G2-14 T (=KCTC 72533 T =NBRC 114179 T ).
