Rhodococcus daqingensis sp. nov., isolated from petroleum-contaminated soil.

ABSTRACT: A novel Gram-stain positive, aerobic, non-motile bacterial strain, designated Z1^T, was isolated from a sample of petroleum-contaminated soil collected in Daqing, Heilongjiang province, China and characterised with a series of taxonomic approaches. The morphological and chemotaxonomic properties of the isolate were typical of those of members of the genus Rhodococcus. Phylogenetic analyses based on 16S rRNA gene sequences showed that strain Z1^T belongs to the genus Rhodococcus and clustered with Rhodococcus maanshanensis DSM 44675^T (99.2%, sequence similarity) and Rhodococcus tukisamuensis JCM 11308^T (97.9%), respectively. However, the DNA-DNA hybridizations between strain Z1^T and R. maanshanensis DSM 44675^T and R. tukisamuen
