title: Anseongella ginsenosidimutansgen. nov., sp. nov., isolated from soil cultivating ginseng.
abstract: A Gram-stain-negative, rod-shaped, non-spore-forming, oxidase and catalase-positive, strictly aerobic bacterium, designated strain Gsoil 524T, was isolated from the soil of a ginseng field and subjected to polyphasic taxonomic analysis. Phylogenetic analysis, based on the 16S rRNA gene sequence, placed Gsoil 524Tin a distinct lineage in the familySphingobacteriaceae, sharing 87.2-88.0 % sequence similarity with members of the closely related generaPedobacter,MucilaginibacterandSolitalea. Strain Gsoil 524Tcontained MK-7 as the predominant quinone, and iso-C15 : 0, iso-C17 : 03-OH, summed feature 3 (C16 : 1ω7cand/or C16 : 1ω6c) and C16 : 1ω5cas the major fatty acids. Strain Gsoil 524Tcould be distinguished from the other members of the familySphingobacteriaceaeby a number of chemotaxonomic and phenotypic characteristics. The major polar lipids in strain Gsoil 524Twere phosphatidylethanolamine and two unidentified polar lipids. Compared with the standard and reference strains unidentified sphingolipid was also found. Based on this polyphasic taxonomic analysis, strain Gsoil 524Trepresents a novel species within a novel genus, for which the nameAnseongella ginsenosidimutansgen. nov., sp. nov. is proposed. The type strain ofAnseongella ginsenosidimutansis Gsoil 524T( = KACC 14636T= KCTC 22261T= LMG 24494T).
