The strain grew optimally at 28–30 °C and pH 7·2. The cells were Gram-negative, short, rod-shaped, motile and non-spore-forming with flagella. The major ubiquinone was Q-8 and the cellular fatty acids were C16 : 0 and C12 : 0. The DNA G+C content of strain YIM 31327T was 62·8 mol%. Phylogenetic analysis revealed that strain YIM 31327T was a member of the β-Proteobacteria, being most closely related to Duganella zoogloeoides, with which it exhibited less than 96 % 16S rRNA gene sequence similarity. On the basis of the phenotypic and genotypic differences between strain YIM 31327T and D. zoogloeoides, a novel species, Duganella violaceinigra sp. nov., is proposed, with YIM 31327T (=CIP 108077T=KCTC 12193T) as the type strain., language=, type=
