The isolate grew optimally at pH 7.0 and 30 °C in the presence of 2 % (w/v) NaCl. The most closely related strains in terms of 16S rRNA gene sequence similarity were Chryseobacterium taihuense NBRC 108747T (97.6 %) and Chryseobacterium aquaticum KCTC 12483T (96.7 %). Phylogenetic analyses based on 16S rRNA gene sequences revealed a distinct taxonomic position attained by strain CC-CZW010T with respect to other species of the genus Chryseobacterium. Strain CC-CZW010T possessed iso-C15 : 0, anteiso-C15 : 0, iso-C17 :  0 3-OH, summed feature 3 (comprising C16 : 1ω7c/C16 : 1ω6c) and summed feature 9 (comprising C16 :  0 10-methyl/iso-C17 : 1ω9c) as predominant fatty acids. The major polar lipid profile consisted of phosphatidylethanolamine, two unidentified lipids and five aminolipids. The polyamine pattern contained the major compound sym-homospermidine. Menaquinone 6 (MK-6) was the predominant respiratory quinone, and the G+C content of the genomic DNA was 36.4 mol%. According to distinct phylogenetic, phenotypic and chemotaxonomic features, strain CC-CZW010T represents a novel species of the genus Chryseobacterium, for which the name Chryseobacterium echinoideorum sp. nov. is proposed. The type strain is CC-CZW010T ( = BCRC 80786T = JCM 30470T).", }
