Azohydromonas caseinilytica sp. nov., a Nitrogen-Fixing Bacterium Isolated From Forest Soil by Using Optimized Culture Method.

ABSTRACT: A bacterial strain, designated strain G-1-1-14^T, was isolated from Kyonggi University forest soil during a study of previously uncultured bacterium. The cells of strain G-1-1-14^T were motile by means of peritrichous flagella, Gram-stain-negative, rod-shaped, and able to grow autotrophically with hydrogen and fix nitrogen. Phylogenetic analysis based on 16S rRNA gene sequence indicated that strain G-1-1-14^T belonged to the genus Azohydromonas. The closest species of strain G-1-1-14^T were Azohydromonas ureilytica UCM-80 ^T (98.4% sequence similarity), Azohydromonas lata IAM 12599 ^T (97.5%), Azohydromonas riparia UCM-11 ^T (97.1%), and Azohydromonas australica IAM
