چکیده
The taxonomic positions of two gamma- and UV-ray-resistant strains isolated from radiation-polluted soil in north-west China were determined in a polyphasic study. The organisms, designated R12(T) and R13(T), were Gram-stain-positive, non-spore-forming cocci, which contained MK-8 as the major respiratory quinone and C(16 : 1)omega7c and C(16 : 0) as major fatty acids. The cell walls of strains R12(T) and R13(T) contained ornithine. Phylogenetic analysis based on 16S rRNA gene sequences and DNA-DNA hybridizations showed that strains R12(T) and R13(T) are members of novel species belonging to the genus Deinococcus, with Deinococcus radiodurans DSM 20539(T) as the closest relative. The isolates R12(T) and R13(T) shared 97 and 97.1 % 16S rRNA gene similarity, respectively, and 29.5 and 33.3 % DNA-DNA relatedness, respectively, with D. radiodurans DSM 20539(T). The DNA G+C contents of isolates R12(T) and R13(T) were 66.7 and 63.8 %, respectively. On the basis of phenotypic tests and other results, two species, Deinococcus wulumuqiensis sp. nov. (type strain R12(T) =CGMCC 1.8884(T) =NBRC 105665(T)) and Deinococcus xibeiensis sp. nov. (type strain R13(T) =CGMCC 1.8885(T) =NBRC 105666(T)), are proposed.

Genome Sequence of a Gamma- and UV-Ray-Resistant Strain, Deinococcus wulumuqiensis R12
Deinococcus wulumuqiensis R12, isolated from radiation-polluted soil, is a red-pigmented strain of the extremely radioresistant genus Deinococcus. It contains a major carotenoid, namely, deinoxanthin. Here, we present a 3.39-Mb assembly of its genome sequence, which might provide various kinds of useful information related to Deinococcus, such as about the key enzymes of its radioresistance mec...

Five psychrophilic bacterial strains were isolated from soil samples collected above the treeline of alpine environments. Phylogenetic analysis based on 16S rRNA gene sequences indicated that these organisms represent four novel species of the genus Deinococcus; levels of sequence similarity to the type strains of recognized Deinococcus species were in the range 89.3-94.7 %. Strains PO-04-20-13...

Three ionizing-radiation-resistant bacterial strains (designated KR-196, KR-198 and KR-200(T)) were isolated from a sample of arid soil collected from a coastal desert in Chile. The soil sample was irradiated before serial dilution plating was performed using one-tenth-strength plate count agar. Phylogenetic analysis of the 16S rRNA gene sequences showed these organisms to represent a novel spe...
