<i>Chitinophaga pollutisoli</i> sp. nov., isolated from contaminated sediment.

ABSTRACT: A Gram-stain-negative, yellow-pigmented, and facultatively aerobic bacterium, designated strain GPA1^T, was isolated from plastic waste landfill soil in the Republic of Korea. The cells were non-motile short rods exhibiting oxidase-negative and catalase-positive activities. Growth was observed at 15-40 °C (optimum, 30 °C), at pH 6.0-9.0 (optimum, pH 7.0-8.0) and in the presence of 0-2.5 % (w/v) NaCl (optimum, 0 %). Menaquinone-7 was the sole respiratory quinone, and iso-C_15 : 0, C_16 : 1  ω5c, and iso-C_17 : 0 3-OH were the major cellular fatty acids (>10 % of the total fatty acids). Phosphatidylethanolamine was identified as a major polar lipid. Phylogenetic analyses based on 16S rRNA gene sequences and 120 concatenated marker protein
