<Emphasis Type="Italic">Lysobacter panacihumi</Emphasis> sp. nov., isolated from ginseng cultivated soil

A Gram-negative, non-motile, aerobic, catalase-, and oxidasepositive bacterial strain, designated DCY117^T, was isolated from ginseng cultivated soil in Gochang-gun, Republic of Korea, and was characterized taxonomically using a multifaceted approach. 16S rRNA gene sequence analysis revealed that strain DCY117^T showed highest similarity to Lysobacter ruishenii CTN-1^T (95.3%). Phylogenetic analysis revealed that closely related relatives of strain DCY117^T were L. aestuarii S2-C^T (95.1%), L. daejeonensis GH1-9^T (95.0%), and L. caeni BUT-8^T (94.9%). Diphosphatidylglycerol (DPG), phosphatidylglycerol (PG), and phosphatidylethanolamine (PE) were the major polar lipids of strain DCY117^T. The major isoprenoid quinone was Q-8. The major cellular fatty acids of strain DCY117^T were iso-C_15:0, iso-C_16:0, and summed feature 9 (comprising iso-C_17:1ω9c and/or 10-methyl-C_16:0). Genomic DNA G + C content was 61.8 mol%. On the basis of our findings, strain DCY117^T is a novel species in the genus Lysobacter. We propose the name Lysobacter panacihumi sp. nov., and the type strain is DCY117^T (= KCTC 62019^T = JCM 32168^T).
