A bacterial strain, TR7-06T, which has cellulase and β-glucosidase activities, was isolated from compost at a cattle farm near Daejeon, Republic of Korea. It was a Gram-positive, aerobic or facultatively anaerobic, non-motile, rod-shaped bacterium. Phylogenetic analysis based on 16S rRNA gene sequences showed that this strain belongs to the genus Cellulomonas, with highest sequence similarity to Cellulomonas uda DSM 20107T (98.5%). Cell wall analysis revealed the presence of type A4β, L-Orn-D-Glu peptidoglycan. The cell-wall sugars detected were mannose and glucose. The predominant menaquinone was MK-9(H4); MK-8(H4) was detected in smaller quantities. The major fatty acids were anteiso-C15:0, C16:0, C14:0 and C18:0. The polar lipids detected were diphosphatidylglycerol, phosphatidylethanolamine and phosphatidylinositol. The results of DNA-DNA hybridization and physiological and biochemical tests clearly demonstrated that TR7-06T represents a novel species. The combined genotypic and phenotypic data show that strain TR7-06T (=KCTC 19030T =NBRC 100758T) merits description as the type strain of a novel Cellulomonas species, Cellulomonas composti sp. nov. © 2007 IUMS.
