sp. nov., isolated from mountain soil.

A Gram-stain-negative, strictly aerobic, motile, yellow, rod-shaped bacterium, designated ZDH117, was isolated from soilsampled atthe Danxialandformin Guangdong Province, PR China. The 16S rRNA gene sequence of strain ZDH117 had highest similarityvalues to DSM 7418 (97.5 %), CP1D (97.3 %) and KACC 14949 (97.2 %). However, phylogenetic analyses based on 16S rRNA gene sequences demonstrated that strain ZDH117 clustered with 541 (96.17 %) and DSM 19645 (95.95 %). The genomic average nucleotide identity values of ZDH117 with DSM 7418, CP1Dand KACC T were 75.1, 75.2 and 75.0 %, respectively. The G+C content of the genomic DNA was 67.6 mol%. Strain ZDH117 was characterized to have ubiquinone-10 as the predominant respiratory quinone, sym-homospermidine as the major polyamine and summed feature 8 (Cω6 and/or Cω7), C-2OH, C and summed feature 3 (Cω6 and/or Cω7) as the major cellular fatty acids (>5 % of total). The predominant polar lipids were diphosphatidylglycerol, phosphatidylethanolamine, phosphatidylglycerol, phosphatidylcholine, sphingoglycolipid, an unidentified phospholipid and three unidentified lipids. On the basis of its phenotypic, chemotaxonomic and phylogenetic characteristics, strain ZDH117 represents a novel species of the genus , for which the name sp. nov. is proposed. The type strain is ZDH117 (=KCTC 62894=CCTCCAB 2018262).
