Cells of the strain were Gram-negative, rod-shaped, facultative anaerobes. It grew at a temperature of 15–37 °C (optimum 28 °C). Growth of the strain occurred between pH 5.5 and 8.5, with an optimum of pH 7.0–7.5. The strain inhibited mycelial growth of Pythium ultimum, Colletotrichum gloeosporioides, Fusarium oxysporum, Botrytis cinerea, Rhizoctonia solani and Botryosphaeria dothidea and growth of Bacillus subtilis. The G+C content of the total DNA was 65.4 mol%. The 16S rRNA gene sequence of the strain was most closely related to species of the genus Lysobacter (<94.0 to >99.0 % sequence similarity). Chemotaxonomic data (major quinone, Q-8; major polar lipids, diphosphatidylglycerol, phosphatidylethanolamine, phosphatidylglycerol and phosphatidyl-N-methylethanolamine; major fatty acids, iso-C15 : 0, summed feature 3, C16 : 0, iso-C17 : 1 ω9c and C18 : 1 ω7c) supported the affiliation of strain YC5194T to the genus Lysobacter. Phylogenetic analysis based on 16S rRNA gene sequences, DNA–DNA hybridization data and biochemical and physiological characteristics strongly supported the genotypic and phenotypic differentiation of strain YC5194T from species of Lysobacter with validly published names. Strain YC5194T therefore represents a novel species, for which the name Lysobacter capsici sp. nov. is proposed. The type strain is YC5194T (=KCTC 22007T =DSM 19286T).", }
