Strain 16F1ET was isolated from a 3-kGy-irradiated sediment
sample collected at Han River in Seoul, Republic of Korea.
Cells of this strain were observed to be Gram-positive, pililike
structure, and short rod shape, and colonies were red in
color. The strain showed the highest degree of 16S rRNA gene
sequence similarity to Deinococcus aquaticus PB314T (98.8%),
Deinococcus depolymerans TDMA-24T (98.1%), Deinococcus
caeni Ho-08T (98.0%), and Deinococcus grandis DSM 3963T
(97.0%). 16S rRNA gene sequence analysis identified this
strain as a member of the genus Deinococcus (Family: Deinococcaceae).
The genomic DNA G+C content of strain 16F1ET
was 66.9 mol%. The low levels of DNA-DNA hybridization
(< 56.2%) with the species mentioned above identified strain
16F1ET as a novel Deinococcus species. Its oxidase and catalase
activities as well as the production of acid from glucose
were positive. Growth of the strain was observed at 10–37°C
(optimum: 20–30°C) and pH 4–10 (optimum: pH 7–8). The
cells tolerated less than 5% NaCl and had low resistance to
gamma radiation (D10 < 4 kGy). Strain 16F1ET possessed the
following chemotaxonomic characteristics: C16:0, C15:1 ω6c,
and C16:1 ω7c as the major fatty acids; phosphoglycolipid as
the predominant polar lipid; and menaquinone-8 as the predominant
respiratory isoprenoid quinone. Based on the polyphasic
evidence, as well as the phylogenetic, genotypic, phenotypic,
and chemotaxonomic characterization results, strain
16F1ET (=KCTC 33793T =JCM 31404T) is proposed to represent
the type strain of a novel species, Deinococcus seoulensis
sp. nov.
