The predominant fatty acids of strain AG1-2T were iso-C15 : 0 (36.0 %), iso-C17 : 0 3-OH (20.2 %), summed feature 9 (iso-C17 : 1ω9c and/or C16 : 0 10-methyl, 16.4 %) and summed feature 3 (C16 : 1ω7c and/or C16 : 1ω6c, 11.1 %). The major polar lipids were phosphatidylethanolamine, three unidentified aminolipids and two unidentified lipids. Strain AG1-2T contained MK-6 as the dominant menaquinone, and the genomic DNA G+C content was 37.3 mol%. The phylogenetic analysis based on the 16S rRNA gene sequences showed that strain AG1-2T was affiliated to species of the genus Chryseobacterium , and its closest related species were Chryseobacterium taiwanense Soil-3-27T, Chryseobacterium hispalense AG13T, Chryseobacterium camelliae THG C4-1T and Chryseobacterium taeanense PHA3-4T with a sequence similarity of 98.0, 97.8, 97.3 and 97.1 %, respectively. However, the DNA–DNA relatedness values between these strains and strain AG1-2T were 29, 21, 21 and 45 %, respectively. Based on phylogenetic inference and phenotypic data, strain AG1-2T is considered to represent a novel species of the genus Chryseobacterium , for which the name Chryseobacterium takakiae sp. nov. is proposed. The type strain is AG1-2T ( = CGMCC 1.12488T = DSM 26898T). %U https://www.microbiologyresearch.org/content/journal/ijsem/10.1099/ijs.0.065888-0
