RT Journal Article SR Electronic(1) A1 Chun, Jeesun A1 Kang, Ji Young A1 Jahng, Kwang YeopYR 2013 T1 Flavobacterium fontis sp. nov., isolated from freshwater JF International Journal of Systematic and Evolutionary Microbiology, VO 63 IS Pt_5 SP 1653 OP 1657 DO https://doi.org/10.1099/ijs.0.045203-0 PB Microbiology Society, SN 1466-5034, AB A taxonomic study was carried out on a novel bacterial strain, designated MIC3010T, which was isolated from a freshwater pond in Jeonju, Republic of Korea. Cells of the isolate were Gram-stain-negative, rod-shaped and non-motile. Comparison of the 16S rRNA gene sequences indicated that the isolate belonged to the family Flavobacteriaceae , with Flavobacterium haoranii LQY-7T as its closest relative, with a similarity of 94.2 %. The predominant fatty acids of strain MIC3010T were iso-C15 : 1 G, iso-C15 : 0 and iso-C17 : 0 3-OH. The polar lipid profile of strain MIC3010T revealed the presence of phosphatidylethanolamine (PE) and one unidentified lipid (L1) as major components. In addition, two aminolipids (AL1, AL2) and one glycolipid were present in small amounts. The DNA G+C content of the strain was 41.0 mol%. The strain contained MK-6 as the major quinone and sym-homospermidine as the predominant polyamine. On the basis of the evidence presented, it is concluded that strain MIC3010T represents a novel species of the genus Flavobacterium , for which the name Flavobacterium fontis sp. nov. is proposed. The type strain is MIC3010T ( = KACC 16593T = JCM 18212T)., UL https://www.microbiologyresearch.org/content/journal/ijsem/10.1099/ijs.0.045203-0
