A bacterial strain, TR7-06T, which has cellulase and beta-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 A4beta, 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.

The GenBank/EMBL/DDBJ accession number for the 16S rRNA gene sequence of strain TR7-06T is AB166887.

API ID32 test results for strain TR7-06T and related Cellulomonas strains are available with the online version of this paper.
