sp. nov. and sp. nov. isolated from wild cranberry bogs in the Cape Cod National Seashore, USA No Access

Abstract

Two non-pigmented strains in the genus , MWU14-2602 and MWU13-2610, were isolated from wild cranberry bogs in the Cape Cod National Seashore, USA. The isolates were characterized by genomic and phenotypic analyses, the results of which indicated that they represent two novel species. Based on total genome sequences, the closest relatives were in the group, which includes the recently described . Whole genome sequences were compared by genome distance phylogeny, digital DNA–DNA hybridization and average nucleotide identity analyses with each other and with the type strains of their nearest species. MWU14-2602 and MWU13-2610 fell well below the accepted cutoff values for species relatedness, clearly indicating that they represent novel species. Although little is known about these organisms , under laboratory conditions, MWU13-2610 produced a modest amount of HCN and was strongly positive for exoprotease activity, whereas MWU14-2602 did not produce HCN or exoproteases. The predominant fatty acids for both isolates were summed Cω7/Cω6. Both isolates produced siderophores and pyomelanin pigment on rich media, and neither was haemolytic on sheep blood agar. We propose the names sp. nov. (type strain MWU14-2602=ATCC TSD 260=CCOS 1979) and sp. nov. (type strain MWU13-2610=ATCC TSD-259=CCOS 1981) for these taxa.
