Cells were Gram-reaction-negative, aerobic, catalase-positive and oxidase-negative. A maximum-likelihood phylogenetic tree based on 16S rRNA gene sequences showed that strain WW3T forms an independent lineage within the genus Altererythrobacter . Strain WW3T was related distantly to Altererythrobacter dongtanensisJM27T and Altererythrobacter troitsensisKMM 6042T (97.1% 16S rRNA gene sequence similarity). DNA–DNA relatedness between strain WW3T and the reference strains was low (30–41 %). The major fatty acids of strain WW3T were C17 : 1ω6c, C17 : 1ω8c, C15 : 0 2-OH and summed feature 8 comprising C18 : 1ω6c and/or C18 : 1ω7c. The predominant isoprenoid quinone of the isolate was ubiquinone-10. The DNA G+C content of strain WW3T was 63 mol%. Phenotypic characteristics distinguished strain WW3T from related species of the genus Altererythrobacter . On the basis of the evidence presented in this study,strain WW3T represents a novel species of the genus Altererythrobacter, for which the name Altererythrobacter rigui sp. nov. is proposed. The type strain is WW3T (=KCTC 42620T =JCM 30975T).", }
