abstract= A biofilm-forming, Gram-stain-negative, aerobic, catalase-positive but oxidase-negative strain, designated CT6T, was isolated from the microbial mats (∼45 °C) of a hot water spring, located within the Himalayan ranges at Manikaran, Himachal Pradesh, India. Strain CT6T formed white, smooth colonies with irregular margins. Transmission electron microscopy revealed coccoid, non-flagellated cells with wavy boundaries. Phylogenetic analyses based on 16S rRNA gene sequences showed that strain CT6T belongs to the genus Lampropedia with a sequence similarity value of 95.4 % to the sole member of this genus, Lampropedia hyalina ATCC 11041T. Strain CT6T was found to have phosphatidylethanolamine and phosphatidylglycerol as the major polar lipids. The major cellular fatty acids were C16 : 0, summed feature 8 (C18 : 1ω7c and/or C18 : 1ω6c), C14 : 0, C19 : 0ω8c cyclo and summed feature 3 (C16 : 1ω7c and/or C16 : 1ω6c). The major respiratory quinone was ubiquinone-8. The major polyamines were putrescine, spermidine and the betaproteobacterial-specific 2-hydroxyputrescine. The DNA G+C content was 63.5 mol%. Based on the genotypic, phenotypic, physiological and biochemical data, strain CT6T is considered to represent a novel species of the genus Lampropedia, for which the name Lampropedia cohaerens sp. nov. is proposed ( = DSM 100029T = KCTC 42939T = MCC 2711T).,
