A Gram-positive, aerobic, rod-shaped, spore-forming bacterium,
designated YLB-03T, with peritrichous flagella was
isolated from deep-sea sediment of the Yap Trench at a depth
of 4435 m. The bacterium was found to be catalase-positive
but oxidase-negative. Growth of this bacterium was observed
at 15–50°C (optimum 37°C), pH 5–10.5 (optimum 7), 0–5%
NaCl (optimum 1%, w/v) and 0.1–50 MPa (optimum 0.1
MPa). Phylogenetic analysis based on 16S rRNA gene sequences
showed that strain YLB-03T was a member of the
genus Lysinibacillus. Strain YLB-03T was closely related to
Lysinibacillus sinduriensis BLB-1T and Lysinibacillus chungkukjangi
2RL3-2T (98.4%), Lysinibacillus halotolerans LAM-
612T (98.0%), Lysinibacillus telephonicus KT735049T (97.5%),
Lysinibacillus endophyticus C9T (97.5%), Lysinibacillus composti
NCCP-36T and Lysinibacillus massiliensis 4400831T
(97.3%). The ANI and the GGDC DNA-DNA hybridization
estimate values between strain YLB-03T and closely related
type strains were 73.7–76.3% and 34.7–38.7%, respectively.
The principal fatty acids were anteiso-C15:0 and iso-C15:0. The
G+C content of the chromosomal DNA was 39.6 mol%. The
respiratory quinone was determined to be MK-7. The diagnostic
amino acids in the cell wall peptidoglycan contained
Lys-Asp (type A4α) and the cell-wall sugars were glucose
and xylose. The polar lipids included diphosphatidylglycerol,
phosphatidylglycerol, phosphatidylethanolamine, and an unidentified
phospholipid. The combined genotypic and phenotypic
data showed that strain YLB-03T represents a novel
species within the genus Lysinibacillus, for which the name
Lysinibacillus yapensis sp. nov. is proposed, with the type
strain YLB-03T (= MCCC 1A12698T = JCM 32871T).
