Abstract
A novel bacterium, designated NAS39T, was isolated from the interfacial sediment of Taihu Lake in PR China and its taxonomic position was investigated by using a polyphasic approach. Cells of the isolate were Gram-stain-negative, aerobic, non-motile, catalase-positive, yellow and rod-shaped. Phylogenetic analyses based on 16S rRNA gene sequences supported that strain NAS39T formed a cluster within the genus
Flavobacterium
, and was most closely related to
Flavobacterium laiguense
LB2P30T (98.4 %), followed by
Flavobacterium tiangeerense
0563T (97.4 %). The average nucleotide identity values between strain NAS39T and
F. laiguense
LB2P30T and
F. tiangeerense
0563T were 82.5 and 75.3 %, respectively. The digital DNA–DNA hybridization values between strain NAS39T and
F. laiguense
LB2P30T and
F. tiangeerense
0563T were 40.9 and 18.6 %, respectively. The genomic DNA G+C content was 34.1 mol%. The major respiratory quinone was menaquinone-6. The dominant cellular fatty acids were iso-C15 : 0 and summed feature 3 comprising C16 : 1 ω7c/C16 : 1 ω6c. The polar lipids comprised phosphatidyl ethanolamine, two amino lipids, three amino phospholipids and two unidentified lipids. Based on the phenotypic, chemotaxonomic, genotypic and phylogenetic characteristics, strain NAS39T (=MCCC 1K06094T=KACC 22328T) represents a novel species of the genus
Flavobacterium
, for which the name Flavobacterium taihuense sp. nov. is proposed.
