Abstract (EN): Strain SC-087B(T) isolated from sewage sludge compost during a study of bacterial diversity in composts, was characterized. The isolate was a Gram-positive, short rod that was motile, catalase- and oxiclase-negative and able to grow at 27-45 degrees C pH 5.5-9.7 and in up to 10 % NaCl. The peptidoglycan was of the B2 beta type, containing the characteristic amino acids ornithine, homoserine and hydroxyglutamic acid. The muramic acid residues of the peptidoglycan were partially glycolylated. The major cell-wall sugar was mannose; traces of xylose were also detected. The predominant fatty acids, comprising more than 70% of the total, were anteiso-C(17:0) and anteiso-C(15:0), the major respiratory quinone was menaquinone-12 (MK-12) and the G+C content of the genomic DNA was 72 mol%. Based on analysis of the 16S rRNA gene sequence, the closest phylogenetic neighbours of strain SC-087B(T) were members of the family Microbacteriaceae, showing sequence similarity values of around 96% with members of the species Microbacterium barkeri (96.0 %), Microbacterium gubbeenense (95.6 %) and Microbacterium indicum (95.7 %). The chemotaxonomic and phenotypic traits analysed supported the inclusion of this strain within the genus Microbacterium and the proposal of a novel species. The name Microbacterium luticocti sp. nov. is proposed and the type strain is SC-087B(T) (=DSM 19459(T)= CCUG 54537(T)).
