Enterobacter oligotrophica sp. nov., a novel oligotroph isolated from leaf soil.

ABSTRACT: A novel oligotrophic bacterium, designated strain CCA6, was isolated from leaf soil collected in Japan. Cells of the strain were found to be a Gram-negative, non-sporulating, motile, rod-shaped bacterium. Strain CCA6 grew at 10-45°C (optimum 20°C) and pH 4.5-10.0 (optimum pH 5.0). The strain was capable of growth in poor-nutrient (oligotrophic) medium, and growth was unaffected by high-nutrient medium. The major fatty acid and predominant quinone system were C_16:0 and ubiquinone-8. Phylogenetic analysis based on 16S rRNA gene sequences indicated strain CCA6 presented as a member of the family Enterobacteriaceae. Multilocus sequence analysis (MLSA) based on fragments of the atpD, gyrB, infB, and rpoB gene sequences was performed to further identify strain CCA6. The MLSA showed cl
