ABSTRACT
The taxonomic position of strain H1T isolated from crude oil contaminated desert sands was determined. Strain H1T was Gram-stain-negative and cocci to short rod-shaped bacterium. It grew at 15-42ºC (optimum, 30-35ºC) and pH 6.5-8.8 (optimum, 7.0-7.5). No added NaCl was required for the growth. The isolate showed 98% 16S rRNA gene sequence similarity with the Alkanindiges illinoisensis GTI MVAB Hex1T, 95.5% with Alkanindiges hongkongensis HKU9T and < 95.2% with other members of the family Moraxellaceae of the phylum Proteobacteria. C100, C100 -2OH, C120 -3OH, C160, C160 N alcohol and C161ω6c/C161ω7c were present as major (5%) fatty acids with minor (< 5%) amounts of C120, C140, C141ω5c and C181ω9c in strain H1T. It contained diphosphatidylglycerol, phosphatidylglycerol, phosphatidylethanolamine, phosphatidylcholine and unidentified two unidentified lipids. Distinct morphological, physiological, phylogenetic, and genomic differences from the previously described taxa support the classification of strain H1T as a representative of a novel species in the genus Alkanindiges for which the name Alkanindiges hydrocarboniclasticus sp. nov. is proposed. The type strain is H1T (= JCM 31550T = KEMB 2255-480T). Emended description of the genus Alkanindiges is also proposed based on additional characteristics.
