title: Paracoccus panacisoli sp. nov., isolated from a forest soil cultivated with Vietnamese ginseng.
abstract: A novel bacterial strain, designated DCY94(T), was isolated from forest soil cultivated with ginseng in Vietnam. The strain was Gram-reaction-negative, facultatively anaerobic, non-motile, rod-shaped and catalase- and oxidase-positive. 16S rRNA gene sequence analysis demonstrated that strain DCY94(T) was closely related to Paracoccus sphaerophysae Zy-3(T) (97.5% 16S rRNA gene sequence similarity) and Paracoccus caeni MJ17(T) (96.9%). The fatty acid profile of strain DCY94(T) contained a predominant amount of summed feature 8 (C18 : 1ω7c and/or C18 : 1ω6c; 88.4%) and moderate to small quantities of C8 : 0 3-OH (1.0%), C10 : 0 3-OH (2.8%) and C18 : 0 (5.2%). Phosphatidylethanolamine, phosphatidylglycerol, phosphatidylcholine and one unidentified glycolipid were major polar lipids; one unidentified aminolipid, one unidentified aminophospholipid, one unidentified phospholipid and four unidentified polar lipids were minor components. The polyamine pattern comprised the major compounds putrescine and spermidine and minor amounts of sym-homospermidine and spermine. The ubiquinone of the strain was Q-10 and the G+C content of its genomic DNA was 68.3 mol%. All these results support the placement of strain DCY94(T) within the genus Paracoccus . Levels of DNA-DNA relatedness between strain DCY94(T) and P. sphaerophysae HAMBI 3106(T) and P. caeni KCTC 22480(T) were 52 and 50%, respectively. The results of phylogenetic analysis, phenotypic tests, chemotaxonomic characterization and DNA-DNA relatedness studies distinguished strain DCY94(T) from the closest recognized species of the genus Paracoccus , suggesting that this strain represents a novel species, for which the name Paracoccus panacisoli sp. nov. is proposed. The type strain is DCY94(T) ( = KCTC 42086(T) =JCM 30337(T)).
