abstract= Two Gram-positive bacterial strains, CM2104T and CM2110, isolated from the inner part of abnormally spoiled oriental melon (Cucumis melo) in Korea, were subjected to a polyphasic taxonomic study. The cell-wall peptidoglycan of strains CM2104T and CM2110 contained meso-diaminopimelic acid as the diagnostic diamino acid. The predominant menaquinone was MK-8(H4). The major fatty acids detected in the two strains were iso-C16 : 0, C17 : 1 ω8c and C18 : 1 ω9c or C17 : 0. The DNA G+C content of the two strains was 73 mol%. Phylogenetic analysis based on 16S rRNA gene sequences showed that the strains formed a coherent cluster with a clade comprising two Janibacter species, Janibacter limosus and Janibacter terrae. Strains CM2104T and CM2110 exhibited a 16S rRNA gene sequence similarity value of 99·7 % and a mean DNA–DNA relatedness level of 89 %. Strains CM2104T and CM2110 showed 16S rRNA gene sequence similarity levels of 97·8–98·4 % to the type strains of J. limosus and J. terrae. DNA–DNA relatedness between strains CM2104T and CM2110 and the type strains of these two Janibacter species was 7–11 %. On the basis of the phenotypic and phylogenetic data and genomic distinctiveness, strains CM2104T and CM2110 should be placed within the genus Janibacter as members of a novel species, for which the name Janibacter melonis sp. nov. is proposed. The type strain is CM2104T (=KCTC 9987T=DSM 16063T=JCM 12321T).,
