The isolate was yellow-pigmented, strictly aerobic, and unable to grow below 5 °C or above 37 °C and in the presence of more than 2.0 % NaCl. Cells were non-motile, non-gliding and non-spore-forming. The yellow pigment was of the flexirubin type, non-diffusible and non-fluorescent. Analysis of 16S rRNA gene sequences showed that strain GIMN1.005T occupied a distinct lineage within the genus Chryseobacterium , with sequence similarity values of 98.6, 98.5 and 98.3 % to Chryseobacterium aquifrigidense KCTC 12894T, Chryseobacterium jejuense KACC 12501T and Chryseobacterium indologenes GIFU 1347T, respectively. The level of DNA–DNA relatedness between strain GIMN1.005T and C. jejuense KACC 12501T was <30 %. The DNA G+C content of strain GIMN1.005T was 42.1 mol%. The predominant cellular fatty acids were iso-C15 : 0, iso-C17 : 0 3-OH and summed feature 3 (C16 : 1ω7c and/or C16 : 1ω6c); menaquinone 6 (MK-6) was the sole respiratory quinone. On the basis of phenotypic properties and phylogenetic distinctiveness, strain GIMN1.005T is considered to represent a novel species of the genus Chryseobacterium , for which the name Chryseobacterium vietnamense sp. nov. is proposed. The type strain is GIMN1.005T ( = CCTCC M 209230T = NRRL B-59550T). %U https://www.microbiologyresearch.org/content/journal/ijsem/10.1099/ijs.0.027201-0
