<i>Dictyobacter halimunensis</i> sp. nov., a new member of the phylum <i>Chloroflexota</i>, from forest soil in a geothermal area.

ABSTRACT: Three Gram-stain-positive aerobic bacteria, characterized by branched mycelia with putative sporangia, were isolated from forest soil inside a decayed bamboo stem from a geothermal area in West Java, Indonesia. The strain S3.2.2.5^T grew at 15-37 °C (optimum 30 °C), at pH 5.0-7.0 (optimum 7.0) and in the presence of 0-1% NaCl (optimum 0%). Strain S3.2.2.5^T was able to hydrolyse cellulose, xylan, starch and skim milk. The cell-wall sugars were composed of xylose and mannose, and the peptidoglycan hydrolysates contained d-glutamic acid, glycine, d-alanine, l-alanine, β-alanine and l-ornithine. The major fatty acids (>10%) were anteiso-C_17:0, iso-C_17:0, C_16:1 2-OH and iso-C_16:1. The major polar lipids were phosphatidylino
