Strain PB3-7BT was rod-shaped, motile and oxidase- and catalase-positive. The predominant fatty acids were C16 : 0, C17 : 0 cyclo, C19 : 0 cyclo ω8c and C14 : 0 3-OH, and the major respiratory quinone was Q-8. The G+C content of the genomic DNA of strain PB3-7BT was 59.7 mol%. The novel bacterium can be distinguished from closely related type strains based on its urease activity and the capacity for assimilation of glycerol and amygdalin. On the basis of the phenotypic, chemotaxonomic and molecular data, strain PB3-7BT is considered to represent a new genus and species, for which the name Eoetvoesia caeni gen. nov., sp. nov. is proposed. The type strain of Eoetvoesia caeni is PB3-7BT ( = DSM 25520T = NCAIM B 02512T).", }
