The bacterium was facultatively anaerobic, Gram-negative, yellow-coloured, rod-shaped, mesophilic and motile with one polar flagellum. The strain grew optimally at 30 °C, at pH 6.0–9.0 and with 0–1 % NaCl (w/v). 16S rRNA gene sequence analysis showed the highest similarity to the sequence from Aquitalea magnusonii TRO-001DR8T, with 98.7 % sequence similarity. However, strain 5YN1-3T showed DNA–DNA relatedness of 43 % (40 % in a reciprocal experiment) with A. magnusonii LMG 23054T. The strain contained summed feature 3 (iso-C15 : 0 2-OH and/or C16 : 1 ω7c) and C16 : 0 as major cellular fatty acids. On the basis of DNA–DNA relatedness and physiological and biochemical characterization, strain 5YN1-3T should be assigned to a novel species of the genus Aquitalea, for which the name Aquitalea denitrificans sp. nov. is proposed. The type strain is 5YN1-3T (=KACC 12729T =DSM 21300T).", }
