Devosia humi sp. nov., isolated from soil of a Korean pine (Pinus koraiensis) garden

다국어 초록 (Multilingual Abstract)

<P>A bacterial isolate, designated strain THG-MM1(T), was isolated from soil in Yongin region, Republic of Korea. Strain THG-MM1(T) was Gram-stain-negative, aerobic, non-motile and rod shaped. Based on 16S rRNA gene sequence comparisons, strain THG-MM1T was most closely related to Devosia insulae DS-56(T) (96.5 % 16S rRNA gene sequence similarity), followed by Devosia yakushimensis Yak96B(T) (95.7 %) and Devosia albogilva IPL15(T) (95.2 %). The G+C content of the genomic DNA was 63.7 mol%. The major cellular fatty acids were C-16 : 0, summed feature 8 (C-18 : (1)omega 7c and/or C-18 : (1)omega 6c) and C-18 : 0. The predominant isoprenoid quinone was ubiquinone-10 (Q-10). The major polar lipids were phosphatidylglycerol and an unidentified lipid. The combined phenotypic, chemotaxonomic and phylogenetic data showed that strain THG-MM1(T) represents a novel species of the genus Devosia, for which the name Devosia humi sp. nov. is proposed, with strain THG-MM1(T) (=KACC 18281(T)=CCTCC AB 2015121(T)) as the type strain.</P>
