title: Solimonas terrae sp. nov., isolated from soil.
abstract: A Gram-stain-negative, aerobic, motile, rod-shaped bacterium, designated strain KIS83-12(T), was isolated from soil of Gaui island in the Taean region of South Korea. The strain grew at 15-33 °C (optimum, 28 °C), at pH 5.0-8.0 (optimum, pH 7.0). Growth did not occur in the presence of NaCl. The strain was catalase-negative and oxidase-positive. Phylogenetic analysis based on 16S rRNA gene sequences showed that KIS83-12(T) was most closely related to Solimonas soli DCY12(T) (96.9 %), Solimonas variicoloris MN28(T) (96.5 %), Solimonas flava CW-KD 4(T) (96.5 %) and Solimonas aquatica NAA16(T) (96.0 %), and formed a robust phyletic lineage with members of the genus Solimonas. The main isoprenoid quinone was Q-8. Major polar lipids included phosphatidylethanolamine, phosphatidylglycerol and diphosphatidylglycerol. Fatty acids present in large and moderate amounts (>5.0 %) were summed feature 8 (C18 : 1ω7c and/or C18 : 1ω6c), C16 : 0, C16 : 1ω5c, summed feature 2 (iso-C16 : 1 I and/or C14 : 0 3-OH) and C12 : 0. The DNA G+C content was 67.9 mol%. On the basis of the taxonomic data obtained in this study, KIS83-12(T) represents a novel species of the genus Solimonas, for which the name Solimonas terrae sp. nov. is proposed, with KIS83-12(T) ( = KACC 16967(T) = DSM 27281(T)) as the type strain.
