gen. nov., sp. nov., a novel member of the –– branch Free

Abstract

Gram-negative, non-spore-forming, rod-shaped, yellow-pigmented bacteria isolated from a freshwater stream in Korea were investigated to determine their taxonomic position. Complete 16S rRNA gene sequence analysis indicated that the organisms should be placed in the –– branch in the family . Phylogenetically, the strains were most closely related to ATCC 33487 and LMG 13028 (94·3 and 94·1 % 16S rRNA gene sequence similarity, respectively) and they clustered on a separate well-supported branch. The strains contained menaquinone MK-6 as the predominant respiratory quinone and showed higher G+C contents (41·7 mol%) than other species in the –– branch and i-C as a major fatty acid (47–52 %). The phylogenetic distances from any species with validly published names and their phenotypic properties confirmed that the strains constitute a separate species in a new genus, for which the name gen. nov., sp. nov. is proposed (type strain Chj707=KCTC 12107=IAM 15050).
