Lysobacter panacihumi sp. nov., isolated from ginseng cultivated soil.

A Gram-negative, non-motile, aerobic, catalase-, and oxidasepositive bacterial strain, designated DCY117, was isolated from ginseng cultivated soil in Gochang-gun, Republic of Korea, and was characterized taxonomically using a multifaceted approach. 16S rRNA gene sequence analysis revealed that strain DCY117 showed highest similarity to Lysobacter ruishenii CTN-1 (95.3%). Phylogenetic analysis revealed that closely related relatives of strain DCY117 were L. aestuarii S2-C (95.1%), L. daejeonensis GH1-9 (95.0%), and L. caeni BUT-8 (94.9%). Diphosphatidylglycerol (DPG), phosphatidylglycerol (PG), and phosphatidylethanolamine (PE) were the major polar lipids of strain DCY117. The major isoprenoid quinone was Q-8. The major cellular fatty acids of strain DCY117 were iso-C, iso-C, and summed feature 9 (comprising iso-Cω9c and/or 10-methyl-C). Genomic DNA G + C content was 61.8 mol%. On the basis of our findings, strain DCY117 is a novel species in the genus Lysobacter. We propose the name Lysobacter panacihumi sp. nov., and the type strain is DCY117 (= KCTC 62019 = JCM 32168).
