Subtercola endophyticus sp. nov., a cold-adapted bacterium isolated from Abies koreana.

ABSTRACT: A novel Gram-stain-positive, aerobic bacterial strain, designated AK-R2A1-2 ^T, was isolated from the surface-sterilized needle leaves of an Abies koreana tree. Strain AK-R2A1-2 ^T had 97.3% and 96.7% 16S rRNA gene sequence similarities with Subtercola boreus K300^T and Subtercola lobariae 9583b^T, respectively, but formed a distinct phyletic lineage from these two strains. Growth of strain AK-R2A1-2 ^T was observed at 4-25 °C at pH 5.0-8.0. Strain AK-R2A1-2 ^T contained menaquinone 9 (MK-9) and menaquinone 10 (MK-10) as the predominant respiratory quinones. The major cellular fatty acids were anteiso-C_15:0 and summed feature 8 (C_18:1ω7c or/and C_18:1ω6c), and the polar lipids included diphosphatidy
