Its taxonomic position was investigated by using a polyphasic study. On the basis of 16S rRNA gene sequence comparisons, strain THG–DJ7T was found to be most closely related to Flavobacterium denitrificans ED5T (97.9 % sequence similarity), Flavobacterium ginsenosidimutans THG 01T (97.6 %), Flavobacterium kyungheensis THG-107T (97.5 %), Flavobacterium anhuiense D3T (97.1 %) and Flavobacterium ginsengisoli DCY54T (97.0 %). The DNA–DNA relatedness between strain THG–DJ7T and its phylogenetically closest neighbours was below 40.0 %. The G+C content of the genomic DNA was determined to be 32.6 mol%. The only isoprenoid quinone detected in strain THG–DJ7T was menaquinone-6 (MK-6). The major component in the polyamine pattern was sym-homospermidine. The major polar lipids were found to be phosphatidylethanolamine, phosphatidyldimethylethanolamine, an unidentified aminophosphoglycolipid, phosphatidylserine and an unidentified lipid. The major fatty acids were identified as iso-C15 : 0, iso-C15 : 0 3-OH and summed feature 3 (comprising C16 : 1ω7c and/or C16 : 1ω6c). These data support the affiliation of strain THG–DJ7T to the genus Flavobacterium . We report the phenotypic, genotypic and phylogenetic characterization of strain THG–DJ7T. Based on the findings presented, a novel species of the genus Flavobacterium , Flavobacterium daemonensis sp. nov. is proposed, with THG–DJ7T ( = KACC 17651T = JCM 19455T) as the type strain.", }
