Abstract
-
A Gram-staining-negative, non-motile, curved rod-shaped,
aerobic bacterium, designated S1-2-4T, was isolated from
soil in Jeollabuk-do province, Republic of Korea, and was
characterized taxonomically using a polyphasic approach.
Comparative 16S rRNA gene sequence analysis showed that
strain S1-2-4T was a member of the family Cytophagaceae
and most closely related to ‘Spirosoma radiotolerans’ DG5A
(97.2%), Spirosoma fluviale MSd3T (96.4%), and Spirosoma
linguale DSM 74T (96.3%). The genomic DNA G + C content
of strain S1-2-4T was 49.7 mol%. The major fatty acids were
summed feature 3 (C16:1 ω7c/C16:1 ω6c), C16:1 ω5c, and C16:0,
and the major polar lipid was phosphatidylethanolamine.
MK-7 was the predominant respiratory quinone. Phenotypic
and chemotaxonomic data supported the affiliation of strain
S1-2-4T with the genus Spirosoma. DNA-DNA hybridization
between strain S1-2-4T and ‘Spirosoma radiotolerans’ showed
relatively low DNA-DNA relatedness (31%). Strain S1-2-4T
could be distinguished from its closest phylogenetic neighbors
based on its phenotypic, genotypic, and chemotaxonomic
features. Therefore, strain S1-2-4T represents a novel
member of the genus Spirosoma, for which the name Spirosoma
lituiforme sp. nov. is proposed. The type strain is S1-
2-4T (= KCTC 52724T = JCM 32128T).

Abstract
-
Strain JSH 5-14T, a Gram-negative, non-motile, and curved
rod-shaped bacterium, was isolated from a dust sample collected
at Nonsan, Chungnam province, South Korea, and
was characterized to determine its taxonomic position. Phylogenetic
analysis based on the 16S rRNA gene sequence of
strain JSH 5-14T revealed that it belongs to the genus Spirosoma,
family Cytophagaceae, class Cytophagia. The highest
degree of sequence similarities of strain JSH 5-14T were found
with Spirosoma liguale DSM 74T (97.8%) and Spirosoma endophyticum
EX 36T (96.2%). The predominant fatty acids were
summed feature 3 (composed of C16:1 ω7c/C16:1 ω6c) and
C16:1ω5c. The major polar lipid was phosphatidylethanolamine,
and the predominant respiratory quinone was MK-7.
Based on the phylogenetic, chemotaxonomic, and phenotypic
data, we propose the strain JSH 5-14T (=KCTC 42550T =JCM
30688T =KEMB 9004-165T) should be classified as a type
strain of a novel species, for which the name Spirosoma pulveris
sp. nov., is proposed.

Abstract
-
A Gram-negative, yellow-pigmented, long-rod shaped bacterial
strain designated DY10T was isolated from a soil sample
collected at Mt. Deogyusan, Jeonbuk province, South Korea.
Optimum growth observed at 30°C and pH 7. No growth was
observed above 1% (w/v) NaCl. Comparative 16S rRNA gene
sequence analysis showed that strain DY10T belonged to the
genus Spirosoma and was distantly related to Spirosoma arcticum
R2-35T (91.0%), Spirosoma lingual DSM 74T (90.8%),
Spirosoma endophyticum EX36T (90.7%), Spirosoma panaciterrae
DSM 21099T (90.5%), Spirosoma rigui WPCB118T
(90.2%), Spirosoma spitsbergense DSM 19989T (89.8%), Spirosoma
luteum DSM 19990T (89.6%), Spirosoma oryzae RHs22T
(89.6%), and Spirosoma radiotolerans DG5AT (89.1%). Strain
DY10T showed resistance to gamma and ultraviolet radiation.
The chemotaxonomic characteristics of strain DY10T were
consistent with those of the genus Spirosoma, with the quinone
system with MK-7 as the predominant menaquinone,
iso-C15:0, C16:1 ω5c, and summed feature3 (C16:1 ω7c/C16:1 ω6c),
and phosphatidylethanolamine as the major polar lipid. The
G+C content of the genomic DNA was 53.0 mol%. Differential
phenotypic properties with the closely related type
strains clearly distinguished strain DY10T from previously
described members of the genus Spirosoma and represents
a novel species in this genus, for which the name Spirosoma
montaniterrae sp. nov. is proposed. The type strain is DY10T
(=KCTC 23999T =KEMB 9004-162T =JCM 18492T).
