Mucilaginibacter soyangensis sp. nov., isolated from a lake.
A non-motile, yellow-orange-pigmented bacterial strain, designated HME6664(T), was isolated from Lake Soyang, Republic of Korea. The major fatty acids of strain HME6664(T) were summed feature 3 (comprising C16 : 1ω6c and/or C(16 : 1)ω7c; 44.7%) and iso-C15 : 0 (20.2%). The DNA G+C content was 40.8 mol%. A phylogenetic tree based on 16S rRNA gene sequences showed that strain HME6664(T) formed a lineage within the genus Mucilaginibacter. Strain HME6664(T) was closely related to Mucilaginibacter ximonensis (96.7%), Mucilaginibacter dorajii (96.5%) and Mucilaginibacter lappiensis (96.3%). On the basis of the evidence presented in this study, strain HME6664(T) represents a novel species of the genus Mucilaginibacter, for which the name Mucilaginibacter soyangensis sp. nov., is proposed. The type strain is HME6664(T) ( = KCTC 23261(T) = CECT 7824(T)).
