The primary cellular fatty acids were iso-C15 : 0, iso-C17 : 0 3-OH, iso-C15 : 1G and summed feature 3 (iso-C15 : 0 2-OH/C16 : 1ω7c). The primary polar lipids were phosphatidylethanolamine and an unidentified polar lipid only detectable after total polar lipid staining. The quinone system was menaquinone MK-7, and in the polyamine pattern, sym-homospermidine was predominant. Additional phenotypic characteristics included growth at 15 to 40 °C and pH 5.0 to 8.0, a salt tolerance range of 0 to 2.0 % (w/v), production of orange cell-bound pigment flexirubin, and gliding motility. After phenotypic, chemotaxonomic and molecular analyses, strain 1458T was identified as a novel species of the genus Filimonas, for which the name Filimonas aurantiibacter sp. nov. is proposed. The type strain is 1458T (=NRRL B-65305T=LMG 29039T). An emended description of the genus Filimonas is also provided. %U https://www.microbiologyresearch.org/content/journal/ijsem/10.1099/ijsem.0.001305
