Abstract

A Gram-negative, rod-shaped organism (CCUG 49520) was isolated from the midgut of the mosquito . 16S rRNA gene sequence analysis demonstrated that this isolate is unique, showing <93 % similarity to species of the families and . The quinone system consisted exclusively of ubiquinone Q-8; the polar lipid profile consisted of the major compounds phosphatidylethanolamine and phosphatidylglycerol, a moderate to minor amount of two unknown aminophospholipids, an unknown phospholipid and two unknown polar lipids; the polyamine pattern was characterized by the predominant compound 1,3-diaminopropane and showed some significant differences when compared with members of the and . On the basis of 16S rRNA gene sequence analysis in combination with chemotaxonomic data, strain CCUG 49520 is considered to represent a new genus and species, for which the name gen. nov., sp. nov. is proposed. The type strain is CCUG 49520 (=CIP 108754).
