    Journal: Int J Syst Evol Microbiol; 2018 Jan; 68(1):113-117. PubMed ID: 29148364.
    Abstract:
    A novel halophilic bacterium, strain GSS13T, capable of growing at salinities of 8-28 % (w/v) NaCl (optimally at 24 %, w/v) was isolated from Yuncheng Saline Lake in China. GSS13T was Gram-stain-positive, strictly aerobic, rod-shaped, motile and a non-spore-former. Growth occurred at pH 5.5-8.5 (optimum pH 7.0) and at 10-45 °C (optimum 30 °C). On the basis of the results of 16S rRNA gene sequences phylogenetic analyses, GSS13T represents a member of the genus Salibacterium and is closely related to Salibacterium halotolerans S7T, Salibacterium qingdaonense CM1T and Salibacterium halochares MSS4T, with 16S rRNA gene sequence similarities of 98.7, 98.4 and 97.9 %, respectively. The results of DNA-DNA pairing studies revealed that GSS13T displayed 52, 43 and 48 % relatedness to S. halotolerans S7T, S. qingdaonense CM1T and S. halochares MSS4T, respectively. The polar lipids of GSS13 consisted of diphosphatidylglycerol, phosphatidylethanolamine, phosphatidylglycerol unidentified glycolipids, an unidentified phospholipid and an unidentified lipid. The predominant isoprenoid quinone was MK-7, and the major fatty acids were anteiso-C17 : 0 (32.0 %) and anteiso C15 : 0 (26.4 %). The DNA G+C content of the type strain was 52.1 mol%. On the basis of phylogenetic, chemotaxonomic and phenotypic data, a novel species of the genus Salibacterium is proposed, with the name Salibacterium lacus sp. nov. The type strain is GSS13T (=KCTC 33792T=MCCC 1K00567T).
