Abstract

A Gram-stain-positive aerobic, rod-shaped, spore-producing bacterium forming colonies with convex elevation and a smooth, intact margin was isolated from a freshwater sample collected from a well situated in an agricultural field. The 16S rRNA gene sequence of the isolated strain BA0131 showed the highest sequence similarity to Lysinibacillus yapensis ylb-03 (99.25%) followed by Ureibacillus chungkukjangi 2RL3-2 (98.91%) and U. sinduriensis BLB-1 (98.65%). The strain BA0131 was oxidase and catalase positive and urease negative. It also tested positive for esculin hydrolysis and reduction of potassium nitrate, unlike its phylogenetically closest relatives. The predominant fatty acids in strain BA0131 included were anteiso-C, iso-C, iso-C, iso-C and the major polar lipids comprised were phosphatidylglycerol, diphosphatidylglycerol and phosphatidylethanolamine. The respiratory quinones identified in strain BA0131 were MK8 (H2) (major) and MK8 (minor). The strain BA0131 shared the lowest dDDH values with L. yapensis ylb-03 (21%) followed by U. chungkukjangi 2RL3-2 (24.2%) and U. sinduriensis BLB-1 (26.4%) suggesting a closer genetic relationship U. sinduriensis BLB-1. The ANI percentage supported the close relatedness with U. sinduriensis BLB-1 (83.61%) followed by U. chungkukjangi 2RL3-2 (82.03%) and U. yapensis ylb-03 (79.57%). The core genome-based phylogeny constructed using over 13,704 amino acid positions and 92 core genes revealed the distinct phylogenetic position of strain BA0131 among the genus Ureibacillus. The distinct physiological, biochemical characteristics and genotypic relatedness data indicate the strain BA0131 represents a novel species of the genus Ureibacillus for which the name Ureibacillus aquaedulcis sp. nov. (Type strain, BA0131 = MCC 5284 = JCM 36475) is proposed. Additionally, based on extensive genomic and phylogenetic analyses, we propose reclassification of two species, L. yapensis and L. antri, as U. yapensis comb. nov. (Type strain, ylb-03 = JCM 32871 = MCCC 1A12698) and U. antri (Type strain, SYSU K30002 = CGMCC 1.13504 = KCTC 33955).
