Comparative 16S rRNA gene sequence analysis showed that the new isolate constituted a distinct phyletic line within the genus Chryseobacterium, displaying >2.8 % sequence divergence with recognized species of this genus. The generic assignment was confirmed by chemotaxonomic data which revealed a fatty acid profile consisting of straight-chain saturated, monounsaturated and branched-chain fatty acids of iso-/anteiso-types as well as 3-hydroxylated fatty acids; a menaquinone with six isoprene units (MK-6) as the predominant respiratory quinone and sym-homospermidine as the predominant polyamine. The novel isolate could be distinguished from other members of the genus Chryseobacterium by a set of distinct biochemical properties. On the basis of phenotypic and phylogenetic evidence, it is proposed that the new isolate represents a novel species of the genus Chryseobacterium for which the name Chryseobacterium treverense sp. nov. is proposed. The type strain is IMMIB L-1519T (=DSM 22251T=CCUG 57657T)., UL https://www.microbiologyresearch.org/content/journal/ijsem/10.1099/ijs.0.017327-0
