Abstract
-
Strain GP20-2T was isolated from a soil cultivated with ginseng
in Korea. The 16S rRNA gene sequence of this strain
showed the highest sequence similarity with Sphingomonas
daechungensis CH15-11T (96.7%) and Sphingomonas sediminicola
Dae 20T (96.2%) among the type strains. The strain
GP20-2T was a strictly aerobic, Gram-negative, non-motile,
rod-shaped bacterium that formed very tiny colonies, less than
0.3 mm in diameter after 10 days on R2A agar. The strain
grew at 10–35°C (optimum, 35°C), at a pH of 5.0–8.0 (optimum,
pH 6.0), and in the absence of NaCl. The DNA G+C
content of strain GP20-2T was 67.2 mol%. It contained ubiquinone
Q-10 as the major isoprenoid quinone, and summed
feature 8 (C18:1ω6c and/or C18:1ω7c, 49.8%) and C16:0 (17.0%)
as the major fatty acids. On the basis of evidence from our
polyphasic taxonomic study, we concluded that strain GP20-2T
should be classified as a novel species of the genus Sphingomonas,
for which the name Sphingomonas parvus sp. nov. is
proposed. The type strain is GP20-2T (=KACC 12865T =DSM
100456T).
