The strain grew optimally at pH 6.5 and 30 °C and in the presence of 2 % (w/v) NaCl. Phylogenetic analysis based on 16S rRNA gene sequences showed that strain CAU 1294T formed a lineage with member of the genus Sneathiella and exhibited similarity to Sneathiella glossodoripedis MKT133T (96.3 % similarity) and Sneathiella chinensis LMG 23452T (95.1 % similarity). Strain CAU 1294T contained Q-10 as the predominant respiratory quinone. C18 : 1ω7c, C16 : 0 and cyclo-C19 : 0ω8c were the major cellular fatty acids. The polar lipids were composed of phosphatidylethanolamine, phosphatidylmethylethanolamine and two unidentified phospholipids. The DNA G+C content was 56.6 mol%. On the basis of these results, strain CAU 1294T is considered to represent a novel species of the genus Sneathiella , for which the name Sneathiella chungangensis is proposed. The type strain is CAU 1294T ( = KCTC 32476T = CECT 8513T). An emended description of the genus Sneathiella is also proposed.", }
