Arcicella aquatica NO-502T, obtained from a neuston film on a freshwater lake and belonging to the phylum Bacteroidetes, is characterized by ring-forming cells. The bacterium is a strict aerobe, with optimal growth between 28 and 30 °C. Carbohydrates, but no organic acids or amino acids, are used as substrates. The G+C content of strain NO-502T is 34·5 mol%; its genome size is 2·9×109 Da. The genus Arcicella and its type species Arcicella aquatica (type strain NO-502T=LMG 21963T=CIP 107990T) are proposed, and descriptions of this genus and species are given.
