Sandaracinobacteroides hominis gen. nov., sp. nov., isolated from human skin

Strain SZY PN-1 T , representing a novel Gram-negative, aerobic, non-motile, rod-shaped and yellow-pigmented bacterium, was isolated from a skin sample of a healthy Chinese male. Growth occurred at pH 6.0–8.0 (optimum, pH 7.0) and 10–37 ℃ (optimum, 30 ℃) with 0–1.0% (w/v) NaCl in R2A agar. Comparative analysis of the 16S rRNA gene sequences revealed that strain SZY PN-1 T shared high similarities with two invalid-published species, “ Sandaracinobacter sibiricus ” RB16-17 (97.1%) and “ Sandaracinobacter neustonicus ” JCM 30734 (96.6%), respectively. Phylogenetic analysis of 16S rRNA gene sequences together with protein-concatemer tree showed that SZY PN-1 T formed a separate branch within the family Sphingosinicellaceae . The DNA G + C content of the strain SZY PN-1 T was 65.0% (genome). The polar lipid profile included phosphatidylethanolamine, phosphatidylglycerol, two sphingoglycolipids, diphosphatidylglycerol, five unidentified glycolipids, and seven unidentified lipids. The predominant fatty acids (> 10.0%) were identified as C 18:1 ω 7 c and/or C 18:1 ω 6 c , C 17:1 ω 6 c , C 16:1 ω 7 c and/or C 16:1 ω 6 c . The major respiratory quinone was Q-10. Based on the phenotypic and genotypic features, a novel genus and species, Sandaracinobacteroides hominis gen. nov., sp. nov. is proposed, with type strain SZY PN-1 T (= KCTC 82150 T = NBRC 114675 T ).
