Phylogenetic analysis based on 16S rRNA gene sequences identified this isolate as a member of the phylum Verrucomicrobia and closest to the genus Prosthecobacter . The 16S rRNA gene sequence similarities between this isolate and any of the type strains of species of the genus Prosthecobacter were less than 95 %. In addition, the absence of a single prostheca and the predominant menaquinone MK-7(H2) supported the differentiation of this isolate from the genus Prosthecobacter . Here, we propose Brevifollis gellanilyticus gen. nov., sp. nov. to accommodate the isolate. The type strain of the type species is DC2c-G4T ( = NBRC 108608T = CIP 110457T).", }
