Abstract
Strain MP-1014T, an obligate halophilic actinobacterium, was isolated from the mangrove soil of Thandavarayancholanganpettai, Tamil Nadu, India. A polyphasic approach was utilized to explore its phylogenetic position completely. The isolate was Gram-positive, filamentous, non-motile, and coccoid in older cultures. Ideal growth conditions were seen at 30 °C and pH 7.0, with 5% NaCl (W/V), and the DNA G + C content was 73.3%. The phylogenic analysis of this strain based upon 16S rRNA gene sequence revealed 97–99.8% similarity to the recognized species of the genus Isoptericola. Strain MP-1014T exhibits the highest similarity to I. sediminis JC619T (99.7%), I. chiayiensis KCTC19740T (98.9%), and subsequently to I. halotolerans KCTC19646T (98.6%), when compared with other members within the Isoptericola genus (< 98%). ANI scores of strain MP-1014T are 86.4%, 84.2%, and 81.5% and dDDH values are 59.7%, 53.6%, and 34.8% with I. sediminis JC619T, I. chiayiensis KCTC19740T and I. halotolerans KCTC19646T respectively. The major polar lipids of the strain MP-1014T were phosphatidylinositol, phosphatidylglycerol, diphosphotidylglycerol, two unknown phospholipids, and glycolipids. The predominant respiratory menaquinones were MK9 (H4) and MK9 (H2). The major fatty acids were anteiso-C15:0, anteiso-C17:0, iso-C14:0, C15:0, and C16:0. Also, initial genome analysis of the organism suggests it as a biostimulant for enhancing agriculture in saline environments. Based on phenotypic and genetic distinctiveness, the strain MP-1014 T represents the novel species of the genus Isoptericola assigned Isoptericola haloaureus sp. nov., is addressed by the strain MP-1014 T, given its phenotypic, phylogenetic, and hereditary uniqueness. The type strain is MP-1014T [(NCBI = OP672482.1 = GCA_036689775.1) ATCC = BAA 2646T; DSMZ = 29325T; MTCC = 13246T].
