Abstract

An aerobic, oligotrophic, Gram-positive, non-sporulating, motile, rod-shaped, palladium-leaching bacterial strain, Deinococcus sp. KR-1, was previously isolated from pond water collected in Japan. This strain grew at 10 °C to 40 °C (optimum 30 °C), at pH 4.5 to 11.5 (optimum pH 8.0), and in the presence of 2.0% NaCl. Its major cellular fatty acids were C15: 1ω6 and C16 : 1ω7c. The quinone system was menaquinone 8. Multilocus sequence analysis based on partial sequences of four housekeeping genes (atpD, dnaA, gyrB and rpoB) showed that branching of Deinococcus sp. KR-1 was distant to those of Deinococcus type strains. The genome average nucleotide identity value between strain KR-1 and its closest related Deinococcus type strain was less than 95.69%. Based on its phenotypic, chemotaxonomic and phylogenetic data, strain KR-1 (= HUT-8138T = KCTC 33977T) can be considered a novel species within the genus Deinococcus with the proposed name Deinococcus kurensis sp. nov.
