RESUMO
A Gram-stain negative, non-motile, strictly aerobic and rod-shaped bacterium, designated as 15181T, was isolated from a salt lake in Xinjiang Province, China. Strain 15181T was able to grow at 10-40 °C (optimum 37 °C), pH 6.0-8.5 (optimum 7.0) and with 1-14% NaCl (optimum 4%, w/v). According to phylogenetic analysis based on 16S rRNA gene sequences, strain 15181T was assigned to the genus Wenzhouxiangella with high 16S rRNA gene sequence similarity of 97.4% to Wenzhouxiangella sediminis XDB06T, followed by Wenzhouxiangella marina KCTC 42284T (95.9%). Strain 15181T exhibited ANI values of 80.0% and 72.0% to W. sediminis XDB06T and W. marina KCTC 42284T, respectively. The in silico DDH analysis revealed that strain 15181T shared 19.1% and 18.7% DNA relatedness with W. sediminis XDB06T and W. marina KCTC 42284T, respectively. Chemotaxonomic analysis showed that the sole respiratory quinone was ubiquinone-8, the major fatty acids included iso-C15:0, iso-C16:0 and summed feature 9 (C16:0 10-methyl and/or iso-C17:1ω9c). The major polar lipids included diphosphatidylglycerol, phosphatidylglycerol, phosphatidylethanolamine, two unidentified glycolipids, two unidentified phospholipids, two unidentified aminophospholipids and an unidentified lipid. On the basis of phenotypic, genotypic and chemotaxonomic characteristics presented in this study, strain 15181T is concluded to represent a novel species in the genus Wenzhouxiangella, for which the name Wenzhouxiangella salilacus sp. nov. is proposed. The type strain is 15181T (=KCTC 62172T=MCCC 1K03442T).
