Abstract
- A novel Gram-negative, motile, rod-shaped, facultative anaerobic bacterial strain, KMK6, was isolated from soil contaminated with textile dyes from an industrial estate located at Ichalkaranji, Maharashtra, India, and its taxonomical position was established by using a polyphasic approach. The major cellular fatty acids included Cω8c, summed feature 3 (Cω7c and/or iso-C 2-OH), C, C and Cω7c. The DNA G+C content of strain KMK6 was 48.8 mol %. 16S rRNA gene sequence analysis confirmed its placement in the genus Alishewanella, and exhibited sequence similarity levels of below 97 % to the type strains of validly published Alishewanella species. On the basis of genotypic and phenotypic evidence, strains KMK6 is considered to be a novel species of the genus Alishewanella, for which we propose that strain KMK6 (=NCIM 5295 =BCRC 17848) is assigned to a novel species, Alishewanella solinquinati sp. nov.
