A Gram-stain-positive, motile, facultatively anaerobic, non-sporing, and rod-shaped bacterial strain, designated HF60T, was isolated from the Red Maple Lake of Guizhou Province, China. The DNA G+C content of the strain HF60T was 55.0 %. The predominant isoprenoid quinones were identified as MK-7 (56.4 %) and MK-8 (35.7 %). The major polar lipids were phosphatidylethanolamine, phosphatidylglycerol, diphosphatidylglycerol and aminophosphoglycolipid. The major fatty acids were anteiso-C13 : 0, iso-C15 : 0, C16 : 0 and iso-C13 : 0. The strain had cell wall peptidoglycan type A3α l-Lys-Gly. Phylogenetic analyses based on 16S rRNA gene sequences indicated that strain HF60T belonged to the genus Exiguobacterium and was most closely related to Exiguobacterium sibiricum JCM 13490T (97.2 % 16S rRNA gene sequence similarity), followed by Exiguobacterium undae DSM 14481T (97.1 %), Exiguobacterium antarcticum DSM 14480T (96.9 %) and Exiguobacterium aurantiacum NBRC 14763T (94.5 %). The differential phenotypic properties, together with the phylogenetic and genetic distinctiveness indicated that strain HF60T can be considered to represent a novel species of the genus Exiguobacterium, for which the name Exiguobacterium flavidum sp. nov. is proposed, The type strain is HF60T (=MCCC 1H00336T=KCTC 33987T).
