Strain LEN33T grew optimally at 37 °C in the presence of 1 % (w/v) NaCl and at pH 9. The novel strain was oxidase-negative and catalase-positive. The major cellular fatty acids were C14 : 0, C16 : 0 and cyclo-C17 : 0. Strain LEN33T contained two unidentified lipids, three unidentified amino-phospholipids, phosphatidylethanolamine (PE) and phosphatidylglycerol (PG). The major isoprenoid quinone was ubiquinone-8 (Q-8). Phylogenetic analysis based on 16S rRNA gene sequences indicated that strain LEN33T was most closely related to Gibbsiella quercinecans FRB 97T and Gibbsiella dentisursi NUM 1720T, with 98.7 % similarities. DNA–DNA hybridization experiments indicated less than 40.7±2 % relatedness to the closest phylogenetic species, G. quercinecans FRB 97T. The G+C content of genomic DNA was 58.7 mol%. Phenotypic, phylogenetic and genotypic analysis indicated that strain LEN33T represents a novel species within the genus Gibbsiella , for which the name Gibbsiella papilionis is proposed. The type strain is referred to as LEN33T ( = KACC 16707T = JCM 18389T). An emended description of the genus Gibbsiella is also proposed.", }
