Abstract

A gram-negative bacterium, designated FJY1T, was isolated from a soil sample obtained from a university campus in South Korea. Examination showed that FJY1T was red-pigmented, aerobic, motile, and composed of nonspore-forming rods. This strain grew in a temperature range of 15–37 °C and a pH range of 7–9. Based on 16S rRNA gene sequence similarity, strain FJY1T was most closely related to Rufibacter roseus H359T and Rufibacter tibetensis 1351T, with sequence similarities of 95.98 and 95.46 %, respectively. Its major cellular fatty acids were iso-C15:0 (18.16 %) and summed feature 4 (C17:1 iso I and C17:1 anteiso B; 15.17 %). The DNA G+C content of FJY1T was 49.7 mol%; its predominant quinone was MK-7; and its major polar lipid was phosphatidylethanolamine. Phylogenetic analysis and analysis of its physiological and biochemical characteristics indicated that this isolate constituted a novel species, for which we propose the name Rufibacter soli sp. nov., with the type strain FJY1T (=KCTC 42815T = JCM 31024T).
