Pedobacter roseus sp. nov., isolated from a hypertrophic pond, and emended description of the genus Pedobacter

Abstract

Pedobacter roseus sp. nov., isolated from a hypertrophic pond, and emended description of the genus Pedobacter Temperature and pH ranges for growth were 5-33 6C and pH 6-8, respectively. The DNA G+C content was 41?3 mol%. The major fatty acids were iso-C 15 : 0 (37?0 %), iso-C 15 : 0 2-OH and/or C 16 : 1 v7c (24?5 %), and iso-C 17 : 0 3-OH (11?3 %). Phenotypic, chemotaxonomic and phylogenetic analyses indicated that strain CL-GP80 T could be assigned to the genus Pedobacter, but distinguished from recognized species of the genus. Strain CL-GP80is therefore proposed as the type strain of a novel species, for which the name Pedobacter roseus sp. nov. is proposed.

Pedobacter lentus sp. nov. and Pedobacter terricola sp. nov., isolated from soil

“…Since then, the number of Pedobacter species has increased considerably with the description of many novel members of the genus. Interestingly, most of these recently described novel Pedobacter species have been isolated from a variety of soils from Korea (Yoon et al, 2006(Yoon et al, , 2007Hwang et al, 2006;Ten et al, 2006;Kwon et al, 2007). In this study, we describe two bacterial strains, DS-40 T and DS-45 T , which were isolated from soil from the island of Dokdo, Korea.…”

Pedobacter glucosidilyticus sp. nov., isolated from dry riverbed soil

“…Many novel species have been recovered from various environments and, at the time of writing, the genus Pedobacter contained 26 recognized species (Steyn et al., 1998;Margesin et al, 2003;Shivaji et al, 2005;Vanparys et al, 2005;Gallego et al, 2006;Hwang et al, 2006; Ten et al, 2006;Baik et al, 2007; Kwon et al, 2007;Muurholm et al, 2007;Yoon et al, 2006Yoon et al, , 2007aAn et al, 2009;Roh et al, 2008;Lee et al, 2009). The description of the genus Pedobacter has also been emended recently (Vanparys et al, 2005;Gallego et al, 2006;Hwang et al, 2006).In the course of a study of the cultivable microbial community of Tibet, China, a soil sample was collected from a dry riverbed in the Xietongmen area and used as a source for the isolation of bacterial strains. Over 50 colonies were isolated by means of the standard dilution plating technique at 28 u C on plates of 10-fold diluted tryptic soy agar (TSA, Difco).…”
