title: Pedobacter bauzanensis sp. nov., isolated from soil.
abstract: A Gram-negative, aerobic, rod-shaped, non-motile bacterium, designated BZ42(T), was isolated from the soil of an industrial site. Strain BZ42(T) was able to grow at 5-25 °C. The major fatty acids were iso-C(15 : 0) (46.2 %), C(16 : 1)ω7c and/or iso-C(15 : 0) 2-OH (23.2 %) and iso-C(17 : 0) 3-OH (9.1 %). The predominant menaquinone was MK-7. The genomic DNA G+C content was 36.5 mol% (HPLC). 16S rRNA gene sequence phylogenetic analysis revealed that strain BZ42(T) was a member of the genus Pedobacter, family Sphingobacteriaceae, and 16S rRNA gene sequence similarities between strain BZ42(T) and the type strains of species of the genus Pedobacter with validly published names were 90.4-93.2 %. On the basis of phenotypic, chemotaxonomic and phylogenetic distinctiveness, strain BZ42(T) was considered to represent a novel species of the genus Pedobacter, for which the name Pedobacter bauzanensis sp. nov. is proposed. The type strain is BZ42(T) (=DSM 22554(T) =CGMCC 1.10187(T) =CIP 110134(T)).
