Abstract

A Gram-staining-negative, non-endospore-forming, yellow-pigmented strain (E89) was isolated from the skin of the medical leech obtained from a leech farm located in Biebertal, Germany. 16S rRNA gene sequencing analysis showed that the isolate was grouped in the genus . Strain E89 was most closely related to LM-09-Fp (98.2 %), CJ7 (98.1 %), and 631-08 (98.1 %). 16S rRNA gene sequence similarities to all other species of the genus were ≤97.4 %. A menaquinone of the type MK-6 was found to be the predominant respiratory quinone and the polar lipid profile consisted of the major compounds phosphatidylethanolamine, phosphatidylserine, two unidentified aminolipids, one unknown phospholipid and two unknown lipids. The fatty acid profile was composed of iso-C, C, summed feature 3 (Cω7 and/or iso-C 2-OH) found in major amounts and several hydroxylated fatty acids in smaller amounts, among them iso-C 3-OH and iso-C 3-OH. All these data support the allocation of the isolate in the genus . Physiological/biochemical characterization and DNA–DNA hybridizations with the type strains of the most closely related species allowed a clear phenotypic and genotypic differentiation of the strain. Based on these data, strain E89 represents a novel species of the genus for which the name sp. nov. is proposed. The type strain is E89 ( = DSM 25795 = LMG 26922 = CIP 110374).
