Chryseobacterium xinjiangense sp. nov., isolated from alpine permafrost.
Strain TSBY 67(T) was isolated during a study on the phylogenetic diversity of culturable bacteria from alpine permafrost in Tianshan Mountains, China. On the basis of 16S rRNA gene sequence analysis, strain TSBY 67(T) was closely related to members of the genus Chryseobacterium and exhibited 96.8 % 16S rRNA gene sequence similarity to Chryseobacterium aquaticum 10-46(T) and Chryseobacterium soldanellicola PSD 1-4(T). Strain TSBY 67(T) grew aerobically, at 4-37 °C, with 0-2 % NaCl and at pH 6-8. Cells were Gram-staining negative, non-motile and non-spore-forming rods. The dominant cellular fatty acids were iso-C(15 : 0) (26.9 %), iso-C(17 : 0) 3-OH (16.1 %) and iso-C(17 : 1)ω9c (15.4 %). The G+C content of the DNA was 33.5 mol%. Strain TSBY 67(T) was distinguishable from its closest phylogenetic neighbours by a combination of phenotypic characteristics. Therefore, strain TSBY 67(T) represents a novel species of the genus Chryseobacterium, for which the name Chryseobacterium xinjiangense sp. nov. is proposed. The type strain is TSBY 67(T) ( = NRRL B-51308(T) = CCTCC AB 207183(T)).
