Myxococcus llanfairpwllgwyngyllgogerychwyrndrobwllllantysiliogogogochensis sp. nov.

Myxococcus llanfairpwllgwyngyllgogerychwyrndrobwllllantysiliogogogochensis , (llan.fair.pwll.gwyn.gyll.gog.er.ych.wyrn.dro.bwllll.ant.ysil.iog.ogogoch.en’sis. N.L. masc. adj. llanfairpwllgwyngyllgogerychwyrndrobwllllantysiliogogogo chensis, pertaining to llanfairpwllgwyngyllgogerychwyrndrobwllllantysiliogogogoch, reflecting its isolation from soil collected in that parish [gridref 53.22 N 4.19 W]).

Vegetative cells are Gram-negative bacilli tapering slightly at the ends, measuring 0.4–0.6 m m 4.0–7.0 m m in electron micrographs. Colonies exhibit swarming motility and appear pale brown on VY-2 agar (w/v 0.5% dried baker’s yeast, 0.1% CaCl 2 2H 2 O, and 1.5% agar). Fruiting bodies are irregular spheroids, orange in color. Aerobic growth was observed at 30 and 35 C and at pH 5.0–9.0. Growth was unaffected by the addition of 1–4% NaCl. Hydrolyzes esculin, gelatin, p -nitrophenyl- B -D- galactopyranoside, and urea. Assimilates N -acetyl-glucosamine, adipate, arabinose, glucose, malate, maltose, mannitol, mannose, and phenyl acetate. Cells prey with low efficiency upon E. coli TOP 10, Cl. nebraskensis DSM 7483, and U. maydis . DNA GC content is 68.7 mol%. The draft genome sequence of AM401 T is available from GenBank (accession VIFM01). The type strain ( AM401 T ¼ NBRC 114351 T ¼ NBBC 100770 T) was isolated from soil collected in the parish of Llanfairpwllgwyngyllgo gerychwyrndrobwllllantysiliogogogoch , UK (gridref 53.22 N 4.19 W) .
