Abstract
WS-10T–a Gram-negative, non-motile, and aerobic bacterial
strain–was isolated from the sediment of a shallow stream in
Korea. The optimum ranges of temperature and pH for growth
were 20–40°C (optimum 28°C) and pH 6.0–8.0 (optimum pH
7.0), respectively. The DNA G+C content of strain WS-10T
was 72.7 mol%. The major fatty acids (>5%) were summed
feature 8 (C18:1 ω7c), summed feature 3 (C16:1 ω7c and/or C16:1
ω6c), C16:0, and C18:1 2-OH. The major polar lipids consisted
of phosphatidylcholine, phosphatidylglycerol, phosphatidylethanolamine,
and unidentified aminolipids. Q-10 was the
predominant respiratory quinone. The highest similarities in
the 16S rRNA gene sequence were shown with Paracraurococcus
ruber (95.3%), Belnapia soli (95.3%), B. moabensis (95.1%),
and B. rosea (95.0%). A phylogenetic analysis based on 16S
rRNA gene sequence comparisons showed that strain WS-10T
formed a distinct line within a clade containing the genera
Paracraurococcus, Craurococcus, and Belnapia in the family
Acetobacteraceae. On the basis of polyphasic evidence, strain
WS-10T represents a novel species of a new genus in the family
Acetobacteraceae, for which the name Dankookia rubra gen.
nov., sp. nov. is proposed. The type strain of the type species
is WS-10T (= KACC 18533T = JCM 30602T).
