Abstract

Three Gram-negative strains, NF 1078, NF 1598 and NF 1715, were isolated from clinical (two) and environmental (one) samples, respectively. Sequence analysis of the 16S rRNA genes revealed similarity of 100 % among the three strains and next highest similarity to the type strain of (98.16 %). The three strains were able to acidify lactose and rhamnose on low peptone phenol red agar and to alkalinize citrate on Simmons’ agar and were negative for nitrate reduction. The DNA G+C content of strain NF 1078 was 67.1 mol%. The level of DNA–DNA relatedness between this strain and the type strains of (ATCC 19860, LMG 2117) was 29 %. Based on these phylogenetic, phenotypic and genotypic analyses, the three strains could be distinguished clearly from all other recognized species and should be classified as representatives of a novel species of the genus , for which the name sp. nov. is proposed. The type strain is NF 1078 ( = LMG 26971 = CCUG 62584).
