DESCRIPTION OF ARACHIDICOCCUS SOLI SP. NOV.

Arachidicoccus soli (so′ li. L. gen. n. soli of soil).

Cells are aerobic, Gram-stain-negative, non-motile and rod-shaped (0.5–0.6 µm wide and 1.3–10 µm long). Colonies grown at 28 °C on R2A agar for 2 days are light yellow, round and convex. Growth occurs at 10–33 °C, pH 6.0–7.5 and with 0–4 % NaCl (w/v). Tests for catalase and oxidase are negative. Tyrosine is hydrolysed, but casein, CM-cellulose, hypozanthine, DNA and Tween 80 are not. Positive for aesculin hydrolysis and β -galactosidase, but negative for nitrate reduction, indole production, glucose fermentation, arginine dihydrolase, urease and gelatin hydrolysis. Assimilates D-glucose, L-arabinose, D-mannose, N -acetylglucosamine, maltose, L-rhamnose and L-proline, but does not assimilate D-mannitol, potassium gluconate, capric acid, adipic acid, malic acid, trisodium citrate, phenylacetic acid, D-ribose, inositol, sucrose, itaconic acid, suberic acid, sodium malonate, sodium acetate, lactic acid, L-alanine, potassium 5-ketogluconate, glycogen, 3-hydroxybenzoic acid, L-serine, salicin, melibiose, L-fucose,D-sorbitol, propionic acid, valeric acid, L-histidine, potassium 2-ketogluconate, 3-hydroxybutyric acid and 4-hydroxybenzoic acid. Positive activities for alkaline phosphatase, esterase (C4), leucine arylamidase, valine arylamidase, cystine arylamidase, acid phosphatase, naphthol-AS-BI-phosphohydrolase, α-galactosidase, β -glucuronidase, α-glucosidase, N - acetylβ -glucosaminidase and α-fucosidase, but negative activities for esterase lipase (C8), lipase (C14), trypsin, α-chymotrypsin, β -glucosidase and α-mannosidase. The major respiratory quinone is MK-7. Polar lipids consist of phosphatidylethanolamine, four unknown aminolipids and three unknown lipids. The major fatty acids are iso-C 15:0, iso-C 17:0 3-OH and iso-C 15:1 G. The major polyamines were homospermidine and putrescine. The genomic DNA G+C content of the type strain is 36.4mol%.

The type strain, KIS59-12 T (= KACC 17340 T = NBRC 113161 T), was isolated from a soil sample collected on Hodo island , Boryeong, Chungcheongnam-do Province, Republic of Korea. The GenBank / EMBL / DDBJ accession numbers for the 16S rRNA gene sequence and the genome sequence of strain KIS59-12 T are MH 933978 and CP032489 , respectively .
