Reclassification of 11 Members of the Family Rhodobacteraceae at Genus and Species Levels and Proposal of Pseudogemmobacter hezensis sp. nov.

ABSTRACT: A novel Gram-stain-negative, aerobic, motile bacterial strain, D13-10-4-6^T, was isolated from the bark sample of Populus × euramericana. The strain could grow at 15-35°C, at pH 6-10 and in 0-4% (w/v) NaCl, and the strain tested positive for oxidase and catalase activities. The main polar lipids were phosphatidylmonomethylethanolamine, diphosphatidylglycerol, phosphatidylglycerol, and phosphatidylethanolamine. The main respiratory quinone was Q-10, and the predominant fatty acid was C_18:1 ω7c. The phylogenetic analyses showed that the strain belonged to the genus Pseudogemmobacter of the family Rhodobacteraceae. The family Rhodobacteraceae is an ecologically diverse group that includes bacteria from aquatic to terrestrial ecosystems. As a co
