title: Hymenobacter monticolasp. nov., isolated from mountain soil.
abstract: A Gram-reaction-negative, aerobic, non-motile, red-pigmented and rod-shaped bacterium, designated XF-6RT, was isolated from mountain soil in the Sichuan province of China. Phylogenetic trees based on 16S rRNA gene sequence analysis showed that XF-6RTbelonged to the genusHymenobacter. The greatest 16S rRNA gene sequence similarities of strain XF-6RTwere withHymenobacter soliPB17T(96.4 %) andHymenobacter saemangeumensisGSR0100T(95.8 %). Summed feature 3 (C16 : 1ω7cand/or C16 : 1ω6c), iso-C15 : 0, C16 : 1ω5cand anteiso-C15 : 0were the major fatty acids (>10 %). The only menaquinone was menaquinone-7. The major polar lipids were phosphatidylethanolamine, four aminolipids, four phosphoaminolipids and three lipids. The DNA G+C content was 62 mol%. On the basis of the polyphasic taxonomic analysis, strain XF-6RTis considered to represent a novel species of the genusHymenobacter, for which the nameHymenobacter monticolasp. nov. is proposed. The type strain is XF-6RT( = KCTC 42733T= CCTCC AB 2015206T).
