Abstract
-
A Gram-reaction negative, strictly aerobic, non-motile, orange
colored, and rod-shaped bacterium (designated BS26T) isolated
from compost, was characterized by a polyphasic approach
to clarify its taxonomic position. Strain BS26T was
observed to grow optimally at 25–30°C and at pH 7.0 on
R2A and nutrient media. Strain BS26T showed β-glucosidase
activity that was responsible for its ability to transform ginsenoside
Rb1 (one of the active components of ginseng) to
ginsenoside compound-K (C-K). Phylogenetic analysis based
on 16S rRNA gene sequences indicated that strain BS26T belongs
to the genus Niabella of family Chitinophagaceae and
was most closely related to Niabella soli DSM 19437T (94.5%
similarity), N. yanshanensis CCBAU 05354T (94.3%), and
N. aurantiaca DSM 17617T (93.8%). The G+C content of genomic
DNA was 47.3 mol%. Chemotaxonomic data [predominant
isoprenoid quinone-MK-7, major fatty acids–iso-C15:0,
iso-C15:1 G, iso-C17:0 3-OH, and summed feature 3 (comprising
C16:1 ω7c and/or C16:1 ω6c)] supported the affiliation of
strain BS26T to the genus Niabella. However, strain BS26T
could be differentiated genotypically and phenotypically
from the recognized species of the genus Niabella. The novel
isolate therefore represents a novel species, for which the
name Niabella ginsenosidivorans sp. nov. is proposed, with
the type strain BS26T (=KACC 16620T =JCM 18199T).
