Statement of the Problem: The genus nitratireductor was first discovered by Labbé et al. (2004) to accommodate species of the family Phyllobacteriaceae of the Alphaproteobacteria that were Gram-negative, oxidase- and catalasepositive and capable of reducing nitrate to nitrite (Yu et al., 2016). The aim of this study is to carry out phylogenetic analysis of Nitratireductor sp. YT3402 isolated from the Yerliköy Saltern located near Çorum province.
Methodology & Theoretical Orientation: Nitratireductor sp. YT3402, was picked after 4 weeks of incubation at 28Ã?Â?C on Starch-Casein Agar containing 3 % (w/v) NaCl. Genomic DNA isolation was performed by Pitcher et al. (1989). The 16S rRNA gene was amplified by PCR using universal primers 27f and 1525r. Phylogenetic analyses were performed by using three different algorithms with MEGA 7 software.
Findings: YT3402 shared the highest 16S rRNA gene sequence similarity with Nitratireductor pacificus pht-3BT (97.23 %).
Conclusion & Significance: When the numerical and molecular data analysis is complete, Nitratireductor sp. YT3402 strain is likely to be a novel species belonging to the genus Nitratireductor.
