Abstract

An aerobic, Gram-negative bacterial strain, TH-G33, was isolated from freshwater sediment of Taihu Lake in China. The taxonomy of strain TH-G33 was studied by using phenotypic and phylogenetic methods. Cells of strain TH-G33 were coccoid rods or rods and formed colourless to pale-pink colonies on nutrient agar. Phylogenetic analysis based on nearly complete 16S rRNA gene sequences showed that strain TH-G33 was related to (94·4 %), subsp. (94·1 %), subsp. (94·8 %) and (93·9 %). Cells contained ubiquinone 10 (Q-10) as the major quinone and the G+C content was 71·9 mol%. Thus, strain TH-G33 represents a novel species of the genus , for which the name sp. nov. is proposed. The type strain is TH-G33 (=CGMCC 1.3617=JCM 13283).
