A Gram-stain-negative, aerobic, rod-shaped and motile bacterium, designated IMCC34681T, was isolated from a lotus wetland in the Republic of Korea. Cellular growth occurred at 10–37 °C (optimum, 30 °C), pH 6–9 (optimum, pH 7) and with 0–2 % (w/v) NaCl (optimum, 0.5 % NaCl). The results of 16S rRNA gene sequence analysis indicated that IMCC34681T represented a member of the genus Thermomonas , sharing 95.3–96.9 % similarities with type strains of species of the genus. The whole-genome sequence of IMCC34681T was 2.72 Mbp in size with 66.2 % DNA G+C content. The IMCC34681T genome shared the highest average nucleotide identity (ANI) value, 82.8 %, with that of Thermomonas brevis KACC 16975T among species of the genus Thermomonas , indicating that the strain represents a novel genomic species. The major respiratory quinone of the strain was ubiquinone-8 (Q-8) and the predominant cellular fatty acids were iso-C15 : 0 (25.7 %) and iso-C14 : 0 (20.8 %). The strain harboured diphosphatidylglycerol, phosphatidylglycerol, phosphatidylethanolamine and an unidentified lipid as major fatty polar lipids. On the basis of the phylogenetic, phenotypic, chemotaxonomic and genomic characteristics, IMCC34681T was assigned to the genus Thermomonas as the type strain of a novel species, for which the name Thermomonas paludicola sp. nov. is proposed. The type strain is IMCC34681T (=KACC 21793T=NBRC 114635T).
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
