- Based on its unique characteristics, strain DCY36T is proposed to be classified as a new species called Castellaniella ginsengisoli.
Article Abstract
A Gram-negative, motile bacterium, designated DCY36T, was isolated from soil of a ginseng field in South Korea and was characterized using a polyphasic taxonomic approach. Comparative 16S rRNA gene sequence analysis showed that strain DCY36T belongs to genus Castellaniella in the family Alcaligenaceae of the class Betaproteobacteria. The 16S rRNA gene sequence similarities between strain DCY36T and the three recognized representatives of the genus, Castellaniella caeni Ho-11T, Castellaniella defragrans 54PinT and Castellaniella denitrificans NKNTAUT, were 98.4, 97.5 and 98.1%, respectively. Strain DCY36T exhibited relatively low levels of DNA-DNA relatedness with respect to these three species. The G+C content of the genomic DNA was 63.7 mol%. Strain DCY36T contained ubiquinone Q-8. The major fatty acids were C16:0 (27.4%), C18:1omega7c (16.9%) and summed feature 4 (C16:1omega7c and C15:0 iso 2-OH, 32.5%). On the basis of phenotypic and genotypic properties and phylogenetic distinctiveness, strain DCY36T (=KCTC 22398T=JCM 15515T) should be classified in the genus Castellaniella as the type strain of a novel species, for which the name Castellaniella ginsengisoli sp. nov. is proposed.

Fifteen Daurian pika (Ochotona dauurica) were introduced to a zoological collection in December 2011 as founders for a planned breeding colony. Despite breeding success, the colony shrunk over 37 mo to 11 animals. Mortality in 11 of 46 deceased animals, including wild-caught "founders" and captive-born offspring, was associated with a suppurative inflammation and abscess formation of the spleen, skin, peripheral and internal lymph nodes, liver, lungs, kidney, or a combination of organs.

A Gram-staining-negative, rod-shaped, non-spore-forming bacterium, designated strain E103(T), was isolated from the skin of the medical leech Hirudo verbana. 16S rRNA gene sequence analysis showed that the isolate was closely related to species of the genus Castellaniella. Castellaniella ginsengisoli DCY36(T) was shown to be the most closely related (98.

A Gram-negative, non-spore-forming, motile, facultatively anaerobic bacterium, designated strain MJ06(T), was isolated from oil-contaminated soil and was characterized taxonomically by using a polyphasic approach. Strain MJ06(T) contained ubiquinone Q-8 as the major respiratory lipoquinone, putrescine as the predominant polyamine and phosphatidylethanolamine, diphosphatidylglycerol and phosphatidylglycerol as major polar lipids. The G+C content of the genomic DNA of strain MJ06(T) was 66.
