Phylogenetic analysis of the 16S rRNA gene sequences indicated that strain JN14CK-3T belonged to the genus Draconibacterium, with the highest sequence similarity (98.3 %) to Draconibacterium orientale FH5T. By contrast, strain JN14CK-3T shared low 16S rRNA gene sequence similarities ( < 91.0 %) with other type strains. The sole respiratory quinone was MK-7.The polar lipids were phosphatidylethanolamine and several unidentified phospholipids and lipids. The major fatty acids were iso-C15:0, iso-C16:0, anteiso-C15:0, C17:0 2-OH, iso-C16:0 3-OH and iso-C17:0 3-OH. The G+C content of the genomic DNA was 40.9 mol%. The digital DNA–DNA hybridization value and average nucleotide identity (ANI) between strain JN14CK-3T and D. orientale FH5T were 34.2 ± 2.5 % and 87.1 %, respectively. The combined genotypic and phenotypic data showed that strain JN14CK-3T represents a novel species of the genus Draconibacterium, for which the name Draconibacterium sediminis sp. nov. is proposed, with the type strain JN14CK-3T ( = MCCC 1A00734T = KCTC 42152T).", }
