Cells were catalase- and oxidase-positive, non-motile rods producing exopolysaccharide and flexirubin-type and pale pink pigments. Growth of strain G27T was observed at 4–30 °C (optimum, 25 °C) and pH 5.0–8.0 (optimum, pH 7.0). Phylogenetic analyses based on 16S rRNA gene sequences showed that strain G27T formed a phyletic lineage within the genus Mucilaginibacter of the family Sphingobacteriaceae. Strain G27T was related most closely to Mucilaginibacter gossypii Gh-67T at 96.5 % 16S rRNA gene sequence similarity. Strain G27T contained menaquinone 7 (MK-7) as the sole isoprenoid quinone and summed feature 3 (comprising C16: 1ω7c/C16: 1ω6c), iso-C15: 0, C16: 0, C16: 1ω5c and C16: 1ω5c as the major cellular fatty acids. Phosphatidylethanolamine was identified as the major polar lipid. The G+C content of the genomic DNA was 46.5 mol%. On the basis of phenotypic, chemotaxonomic and molecular properties, strain G27T represents a novel species of the genus Mucilaginibacter, for which the name Mucilaginibacter vulcanisilvae sp. nov. is proposed. The type strain is G27T ( = KACC 18231T = JCM 30363T).", }
