ABSTRACT
Two bacterial strains SYSU G02173T and SYSU G03142 were isolated from hot springs in Tibet, China. Based on the results of nearly full-length 16S rRNA gene sequences and phylogenetic analyses, strains SYSU G02173T and SYSU G03142 were assigned to the family Sphingosinicellaceae, and were closest to Sandaracinobacter sibiricus RB16-17 T (96.04% and 96.12% similarity, respectively). Cells of the both new strains were observed to be motile rod-shape, Gram-staining negative. Growth occurred at pH 6-8 (optimal pH 7.0) and 37-55 °C (optimal 45 °C) with 0-1.0% (w/v) NaCl in T4 broth. The cells were found to be positive for oxidase and catalase activities. The major respiratory ubiquinone was Q-8. The major fatty acids were identified as summed feature 8 (C181 ω7c and/or C181 ω6c), C160, C140 2-OH. The major polar lipids were found to consist of sphingoglycolipid, phosphatidylethanolamine, phosphatidylglycerol, diphosphatidylglycerol, one unidentified phospholipid, one unidentified glycolipid, three unidentified aminolipids and two unidentified polar lipids. The DNA G + C contents of strains SYSU G02173T and SYSU G03142 were 71.8%. The average nucleotide identity (ANI) value between strain SYSU G02173T and SYSU G03142 was 99.98%. The amino acid identity (AAI) values between them and their closely related species were below 66.14%. The isolates are characterized by aerobic growth, a yellow endocellular pigment and a higher optimum growth temperature. The results showed that strains SYSU G02173T and SYSU G03142 represent a novel species of a novel genus in the family Sphingomonadaceae, and thus the name Thermaurantiacus tibetensis (type strain SYSU G02173T = KCTC 72052 T = CGMCC 1.16680 T) is proposed.
