Phylogenetic analysis, based on 16S rRNA gene sequences, indicated that strain JW-1T belongs to the genus Leucobacter and its closest neighbours are ‘ Leucobacter kyeonggiensis ’ F3-P9 (98.95 % similarity), Leucobacter celer subsp . astrifaciens CBX151T (98.62 %), Leucobacter celer subsp . celer NAL101T (98.53 %), Leucobacter chromiiresistens JG31T (97.86 %) and Leucobacter chironomi DSM 19883T (97.37 %). DNA–DNA hybridization values with the above strains were <55 %. The DNA G+C content of strain JW-1T was 72.6 mol%. The major fatty acids of strain JW-1T were iso-C16 : 0, anteiso-C15 : 0, anteiso-C17 : 0 and iso-C15 : 0. The predominant polar lipids were diphosphatidylglycerol, phosphatidylglycerol and glycolipid. The predominant menaquinone was MK-11. The cell wall amino acids were 2,4-diaminobutyric acid, alanine, glutamic acid, glycine and threonine. Based on the molecular and chemotaxonomic data, as well as the physiological and biochemical characteristics, strain JW-1T is considered to represent a novel species of the genus Leucobacter , for which the name Leucobacter triazinivorans is proposed. The type strain is JW-1T (=DSM 105188T=LMG 30083T).", }
