Schumannella

Abstract

[eng] Schu.man.nel’la. N.L. fem. dim. n. Schumannella, named after Peter Schumann, a German microbiologist, who contributed to the taxonomy of actinobacteria. Aerobic, nonmotile, and non-spore-forming actinobacteria that produce single, straight, and rodshaped cells that are Gram-stain-positive. Chemoorganotrophic. Positive for catalase but negative for oxidase. The characteristic chemotaxonomic markers are menaquinones MK-11, MK-10, and MK-9; 2,4-diaminobutyric acid as the diamino acid in the peptidoglycan; and anteiso-C15:0 and iso-C16:0 as major fatty acids in the cell membrane. The genus is represented by a single species, Schumannella luteola. Belongs to the family Microbacteriaceae and is phylogenetically related to the genera Protaetiibacter, Herbiconiux, and Humibacter. DNA G +C content (mol%): 71.6 (WGS). Type species: Schumannella luteola An et al. 2008, VL125.
