Abstract

The Gram-positive, nonmotile, rod-shaped bacterium EF45044T was isolated from a hot spring in Chungju, South Korea. The strain was able to grow at concentrations of 0‒5% (w/v) NaCl, at pH 6.0‒10.0 and in the temperature range of 18‒50 °C. Strain EF45044T showed the highest 16S rRNA gene sequence similarity (98.2%) with Microbacterium ketosireducens DSM 12510T, and the digital DNA‒DNA hybridization (dDDH), average amino acid identity (AAI), and average nucleotide identity (ANI) values were all lower than the accepted species threshold. Strain EF45044T contained MK‒12 and MK‒13 as the predominant respiratory quinones and anteiso‒C17:0, anteiso‒C15:0, and iso‒C16:0 as the major fatty acids. Diphosphatidylglycerol, phosphatidylglycerol, and glycolipid were detected as the major polar lipids. The cell-wall peptidoglycan contained ornithine. The DNA G + C content was 71.4 mol%. Based on the polyphasic data, strain EF45044T (= KCTC 49703T) presents a novel species of the genus Microbacterium, for which the name Microbacterium neungamense sp. nov. is proposed.
