Filimonas aurantiibacter sp. nov., an orange-pigmented bacterium isolated from lake water and emended description of the genus Filimonas Albert, Richard A. and Waas, Nancy E. and Pavlons, Shawn C. and Pearson, Jamie L. and Roecker, Jon and Tewalt, Nikklas and Cleeve, Natalie and Rosselló-Mora, Ramon and Busse, Hans-Jürgen,, 66, 4027-4032 (2016), doi = https://doi.org/10.1099/ijsem.0.001305, publicationName = Microbiology Society, issn = 1466-5026, abstract= A Gram-stain-negative bacterium was isolated from Lake Michigan water. 16S rRNA gene sequence analysis revealed that strain 1458T had a sequence similarity to Filimonas lacunae YT21T, Sediminibacterium goheungense HME7863T, Parasegetibacter terrae SGM2-10T, Sediminibacterium ginsengisoli DCY13T, Terrimonas ferruginea DSM 30193T, Lacibacter cauensis NJ-8T, Flavihumibacter solisilvae 3-3T, Parasegetibacter luojieneis RHYL-37T, Vibrionimonas magnilacihabitans MU-2T and Parafilimonas terrae 5GHs7-2T with values of 93.4, 92.3, 91.9, 91.9, 91.8, 91.6, 91.6, 91.6, 91.5 and 90.4 %, respectively. The primary cellular fatty acids were iso-C15 : 0, iso-C17 : 0 3-OH, iso-C15 : 1G and summed feature 3 (iso-C15 : 0 2-OH/C16 : 1ω7c). The primary polar lipids were phosphatidylethanolamine and an unidentified polar lipid only detectable after total polar lipid staining. The quinone system was menaquinone MK-7, and in the polyamine pattern, sym-homospermidine was predominant. Additional phenotypic characteristics included growth at 15 to 40 °C and pH 5.0 to 8.0, a salt tolerance range of 0 to 2.0 % (w/v), production of orange cell-bound pigment flexirubin, and gliding motility. After phenotypic, chemotaxonomic and molecular analyses, strain 1458T was identified as a novel species of the genus Filimonas, for which the name Filimonas aurantiibacter sp. nov. is proposed. The type strain is 1458T (=NRRL B-65305T=LMG 29039T). An emended description of the genus Filimonas is also provided., language=, type=
