Kineococcus vitellinus sp. nov., Kineococcus indalonis sp. nov. and Kineococcus siccus sp. nov., Isolated Nearby the Tabernas Desert (Almeria, Spain).

ABSTRACT: Three novel Gram-positive, aerobic, chemoheterotrophic, motile, non-endospore-forming, orange-pigmented bacteria designated strains T13^T, T90^T and R8^T were isolated from the Tabernas Desert biocrust (Almería, Spain). Cells of the three strains were coccus-shaped and occurred singly, in pairs or clusters. The three strains were oxidase-negative and catalase-positive, and showed a mesophilic, neutrophilic and non-halophilic metabolism. Based on the 16S rRNA gene sequences, the closest neighbours of strains T13^T, T90^T and R8^T were Kineococcus aurantiacus IFO 15268^T, Kineococcus gypseus YIM 121300^T and Kineococcus radiotolerans SRS 30216^T (98.5%, 97.1% and 97.9% gene sequence
