Abstract

Isolation, study and identification of bacteria producing the violet pigment violacein, which has a wide range of biological activities, is of interest for the biotechnological processes development. A violet-pigmented, Gram-stain-negative, rod-shaped, aerobic, nonmotile strain, designated S-LB17, was isolated from the water of Lake Baikal. Phylogenetic analysis of the 16S rRNA gene sequence showed that strain S-LB17 belonged to the genus Iodobacter, showing 98.7% similarity to the sequence of Iodobacter arcticus strain M4-16T. Comparison of the phenotypic properties of strain S-LB17 revealed multiple differences with type strains of I. arcticus and I. fluviatilis.
