On the basis of 16S rRNA gene sequence phylogeny, strain Dy73T was affiliated with the genus Dysgonomonas in the phylum Bacteroidetes , and most closely related to Dysgonomonas mossii CCUG 43457T with a 16S rRNA gene sequence similarity value of 99.7 %. However, the DNA–DNA relatedness value between strain Dy73T and Dysgonomonas mossii CCUG 43457T was 34.8 %. In addition, strain Dy73T was found to be different from other recognized species of the genus Dysgonomonas in taxonomically important traits, including habitat, DNA G+C content, bile resistance and fatty-acid composition. Based on these characteristics, strain Dy73T represents a novel species of the genus Dysgonomonas for which the name Dysgonomonas oryzarvi sp. nov. is proposed. The type strain is Dy73T ( = JCM 16859T = KCTC 5936T). %U https://www.microbiologyresearch.org/content/journal/ijsem/10.1099/ijs.0.039040-0
