Cells of strain V2M44T were Gram-negative, rod-shaped and 0.3–0.4 μm in diameter and 1.5–2.5 μm long. The cells were strictly aerobic and were motile by means of peritrichous flagella. Growth occurred at 20–33 °C (optimum, 29–31 °C), at pH 5–8 (optimum, pH 6.0–7.0) and in the presence of 0−0.1 % (w/v) NaCl (optimum, 0.05 %). Strain V2M44T contained C17 : 1 ω6c (38.9 %) and summed feature 7 (comprising C18 : 1 ω7c, C18 : 1 ω9t and/or C18 : 1 ω12t, 31.5 %) as the major cellular fatty acids and Q-10 as the major respiratory quinone. The major polar lipids were sphingoglycolipid, phosphatidylmonomethylethanolamine, phosphatidylethanolamine, phosphatidylglycerol and diphosphatidylglycerol along with two unidentified phospholipids and four unidentified glycolipids. The major component in the polyamine pattern was sym-homospermidine. The DNA G+C content was 65.8 mol%. Analysis of 16S rRNA gene sequences indicated that strain V2M44T was phylogenetically related to members of the genus Sphingomonas, with sequence similarities ranging from 92.0–95.8 %. Based on these results, it is concluded that strain V2M44T represents a novel species of the genus Sphingomonas, for which the name Sphingomonas changbaiensis sp. nov. is proposed. The type strain is V2M44T (=CGMCC 1.7057T=NBRC 104936T).", }
