%T Nitrincola tapanii  sp. nov., a novel alkaliphilic bacterium from An Indian Soda Lake.
%X A novel Gram-stain-negative bacterial strain designated as MEB193 was isolated from a sediment sample collected from Lonar Lake, India. The cells were motile, non-spore-forming and rod-shaped. The strain was oxidase- and catalase-positive. It grew optimally at pH 9.0 and at 1?% (w/v) NaCl concentration at 30??C. Based on 16S rRNA gene sequence similarity, MEB193 belongs to genus , with  ZV-19 (95.89?%) and  4CA (95.87?%) as its closest neighbours. The major fatty acid was summed feature 8 comprising C?7c/C?6c (52?%) followed by C (25?%). Phosphatidylglycerol (PG) and diphosphatidylglycerol (DPG) were present as the major polar lipids. The draft genome obtained in this study was 2?793?747?bp and the G+C content was 50.79?mol%. Average nucleotide identity (71.76?%) and DNA-DNA hybridization (<20?%) values between strain MEB193 and  4CA confirmed the novelty of this new species. Based on phenotypic including chemotaxonomic and genotypic characterization data, strain MEB193 represents a new species of the genus  for which the name  sp. nov. is proposed. The type strain is MEB193 (=MCC 2863=JCM 31570 =KCTC 52390 ).
