Description of Chloramphenicol Resistant Kineococcus rubinsiae sp. nov. Isolated From a Spacecraft Assembly Facility.

ABSTRACT: A Gram-positive, coccoid, motile, aerobic bacterium, designated strain B12^T was isolated from a Jet Propulsion Laboratory spacecraft assembly cleanroom, Pasadena, CA, United States. Strain B12^T was resistant to chloramphenicol (100 μg/mL), and is a relatively slow grower (3-5 days optimal). Strain B12^T was found to grow optimally at 28 to 32°C, pH 7 to 8, and 0.5% NaCl. Fatty acid methyl ester analysis showed that the major fatty acid of the strain B12^T was anteiso C_{15 : 0} (66.3%), which is also produced by other Kineococcus species. However, arachidonic acid (C_{20 : 4} ω6,9,12,16c) was present in strain B12^T and Kineococcus glutinatus YIM 75677^T b
