RT Journal Article SR Electronic(1) A1 Dahal, Ram Hari A1 Kim, JaisooYR 2018 T1 Fluviicola kyonggii sp. nov., a bacterium isolated from forest soil and emended description of the genus Fluviicola JF International Journal of Systematic and Evolutionary Microbiology, VO 68 IS 6 SP 1885 OP 1889 DO https://doi.org/10.1099/ijsem.0.002759 PB Microbiology Society, SN 1466-5034, AB A novel bacterium, designated strain CA-1T, was isolated from forest soil in Kyonggi University. Cells were strictly aerobic, Gram-stain-negative, catalase-positive, oxidase-negative, non-motile, non-spore-forming, rod-shaped and red-orange-pigmented. Strain CA-1T hydrolysed casein and DNA. It was able to grow at 15–37 °C, pH 5.5–9.0 and at 0–2 % (w/v) NaCl concentration. Flexirubin-type pigments were present. Phylogenetic analysis based on its 16S rRNA gene sequence indicated that strain CA-1T formed a lineage within the family Crocinitomicaceae of the phylum Bacteroidetes that was distinct from Fluviicola hefeinensis MYL-8T (96.8 % sequence similarity) and Fluviicola taffensis DSM 16823T (96.1 %). Strain CA-1T contained menaquinone-6 as a sole respiratory quinone. The major polar lipids were phosphatidylethanolamine, unidentified aminolipids, an unidentified aminophospholipid and an unidentified lipid. The major cellular fatty acids were iso-C15 : 0, iso-C17 : 0 3-OH, C15 : 0 2-OH, summed feature 3 (C16 : 1ω7c and/or C16 : 1ω6c) and iso-C15 : 1 G. The DNA G+C content of strain CA-1T was 44.1 mol%. The polyphasic characterization revealed that strain CA-1T represents a novel species in the genus Fluviicola , for which the name Fluviicola kyonggii sp. nov. is proposed. The type strain is CA-1T (=KEMB 9005-526T=KACC 19148T=NBRC 112684T)., UL https://www.microbiologyresearch.org/content/journal/ijsem/10.1099/ijsem.0.002759
