Flavobacterium fluvii sp. nov., isolated from stream sediment Lee, Se Hee and Kim, Jeong Myeong and Lee, Jung Ro and Park, Woojun and Jeon, Che Ok,, 60, 353-357 (2010), doi = https://doi.org/10.1099/ijs.0.010850-0, publicationName = Microbiology Society, issn = 1466-5026, abstract= An aerobic, yellow-pigmented, Gram-staining-negative bacterium, designated strain H7T, was isolated from sediment of Gazwa stream in Jinju city, South Korea. Cells of strain H7T were non-motile, straight rods that produced flexirubin pigments and showed catalase- and oxidase activities. Strain H7T contained iso-C15 : 0, anteiso-C15 : 0 and summed feature 3 (comprising C16 : 1 ω7c and/or iso-C15 : 0 2-OH) as the main fatty acids and menaquinone-6 (MK-6) as the major isoprenoid quinone. The DNA G+C content of strain H7T was 37.2 mol%. Comparative 16S rRNA gene sequence analysis showed that strain H7T formed a distinct phyletic line within the genus Flavobacterium. Based on 16S rRNA gene sequence similarities, the novel strain was most closely related to Flavobacterium limicola ST-82T and Flavobacterium resistens BD-b365T with 97.2 % and 97.0 % gene sequence similarities, respectively. The DNA–DNA relatedness of the novel strain with these species was only 18 % and 14 %, respectively. On the basis of phenotypic data and molecular properties, strain H7T represents a novel species within the genus Flavobacterium, for which the name Flavobacterium fluvii sp. nov. is proposed. The type strain is H7T (=KACC 12818T=DSM 19978T)., language=, type=
