Analysis of the 16S rRNA gene sequence of strain 4M24T revealed that it is a member of the genus Sphingobacterium, sharing 88.5–94.5 % sequence similarity with type strains of the genus Sphingobacterium and being most closely related to Sphingobacterium daejeonense TR6-04T (94.5 % sequence similarity) and Sphingobacterium mizutaii ATCC 33299T (92.2 % similarity). The major fatty acids of strain 4M24T grown on trypticase soy agar medium were summed feature 3 (iso-C15 : 0 2-OH and/or C16 : 1 ω7c; 37.5 %), iso-C15 : 0 (29.5 %) and iso-C17 : 0 3-OH (19.7 %). The G+C content of the genomic DNA was 42.3 mol%. On the basis of phenotypic and genotypic characteristics, strain 4M24T represents a novel species of the genus Sphingobacterium, for which the name Sphingobacterium composti sp. nov. is proposed. The type strain is 4M24T (=KACC 11313T=DSM 18850T).", }
