Salinarimonas soli sp. nov., isolated from soil

A light pink coloured bacterium, designated strain BN140002(T), was isolated from a soil sample collected in Goesan-gun, Chungcheongbuk-do, Republic of Korea. Cells of strain BN140002(T) were Gram-stain-negative, aerobic, motile and rod-shaped. Phylogenetic analysis based on 16S rRNA gene sequences showed 94.7, 94.7, 93.9, 93.3, 93.4 and 93.0% similarities to Salinarimonas rosea KCTC 22346(T), Salinarimonas ramus DSM 22962(T), Saliniramus fredricksonii HL-109(T), Microvirga soli R491(T), Chelatococcus caeni EBR-4-1(T) and Chelatococcus composti PC-2(T), respectively. The major polar lipids were diphosphatidylglycerol, phosphatidylglycerol, phosphatidylcholine and phosphatidylethanolamine. The major cellular fatty acids were summed feature 8 (C-18:1 omega 7c and/or C-18:1 omega 6c) and summed feature 1 (C-12:0 aldehyde and/or unknown 10.98) and the predominant ubiquinone was Q-10. The genomic DNA G+C content of strain BN140002(T) was 70.1 mol%. The genomic orthoANI values between strain BN140002T and Salinarimonas rosea KCTC 22346(T) and Salinarimonas ramus DSM 22962T were 75.0 and 74.8 %, respectively. Strain BN140002(T) had a class I-C type CRISPR-Cas system (CRISPR-associated helicase Cas3, CRISPR-associated protein Cas8c, CRISPR-associated protein Cas7, CRISPR-associated RecB family exonuclease Cas4, CRISPR-associated protein 1, 2). Based on phenotypic, chemotaxonomic and phylogenetic data, strain BN140002(T) should be assigned as a novel species of the genus Salinarimonas , for which the name Salinarimonas soli sp. nov. is proposed. The type strain is BN140002(T) (=KCTC 42643(T)=CCTCC AB 2017173(T)).
