The predominant
menaquinone is MK-7. The polar lipids consist of phosphatidylglycerol,
diphosphatidylglycerol, phosphatidylethanol
amine and two glycolipids. The major cellular fatty acids are
anteiso-C15:0, C16:0, iso-C16:0, anteiso-C17:0 and iso-C15:0. The
DNA G + C content of the type strain is 48.1 mol %.
The type strain, Y24T (=CPCC 100602T = JCM
30284T), was isolated from a cold spring sample collected
from Urumchi, the city of Xinjiang Uyghur Autonomous
Region, China. The 16S rRNA gene sequence of strain
Y24T has been deposited in GenBank under the accession
number KM243343.
