Abstract

A Gram-stain-negative, aerobic, non-motile and yellow-colored bacterium, strain 17J57-3 T, was isolated from soil collected in Pyeongchang city, Korea. Phylogenetic analyses based on 16S rRNA gene sequences revealed that strain 17J57-3 T formed a distinct lineage within the family Oxalobacteraceae (order Burkholderiales, class Betaproteobacteria). Strain 17J57-3 T was the most closely related to Noviherbaspirillum humi U15T (96.4% 16S rRNA gene sequence similarity) and Noviherbaspirillum massiliense JC206T (96.2%). The draft genome size of strain 17J57-3 T was 6,117,206 bp. Optimal growth occurred at 30 °C, pH 7.0 without NaCl. The predominant cellular fatty acids were summed feature 3 (C16:1 ω6c/C16:1 ω7c) and C16:0. The major respiratory quinone was Q-8. The major polar lipids were diphosphatidylglycerol, phosphatidylglycerol and phosphatidylethanolamine. Biochemical, chemotaxonomic and phylogenetic analyses indicated that strain 17J57-3 T represents a novel bacterial species within the genus Noviherbaspirillum, for which the name Noviherbaspirillum galbum is proposed. The type strain of Noviherbaspirillum galbum is 17J57-3 T (= KCTC 62213 T = NBRC 114384 T).
