The isolate was Gram-reaction-negative, rod-shaped, motile by means of a polar flagellum and incapable of reducing nitrate to nitrite. Growth was observed at 0.5–8 % NaCl and at 10–41 °C. Strain P31T was unable to degrade Tween 80 or gelatin. The major respiratory quinone was ubiquinone 11 (Q-11). The dominant fatty acids were C18 : 1 ω7c (39.79 %), 11-methyl C18 : 1 ω7c (17.84 %), C19 : 0 cyclo ω8c (12.05 %) and C18 : 0 (6.09 %). The G+C content of the chromosomal DNA was 62.1 mol%. A phylogenetic tree based on 16S rRNA gene sequence analysis showed that strain P31T and Parvibaculum lavamentivorans DS-1T formed a distinct lineage in the family Phyllobacteriaceae; these two strains showed 95.7 % sequence similarity, while similarities between P31T and other members of the genus Parvibaculum were below 93 %. Based on the genotypic and phenotypic data, strain P31T represents a novel species of the genus Parvibaculum, for which the name Parvibaculum indicum sp. nov. is proposed. The type strain is P31T (=CCTCC AB 208230T =LMG 24712T =MCCC 1A01132T).", }
