The phylogenetic affiliation based on 16S rRNA gene sequence analysis showed that strain I54T belonged to the genus Soonwooa of the family Flavobacteriaceae with a sequence similarity of 97.5 % to Soonwooa buanensis HM0024T. The major fatty acids (>5 %) of strain I54T were iso-C15 : 0, anteiso-C15 : 0, summed feature 3 (C16 : 1 ω7c/C16 : 1ω6c) and iso-C17 : 0 3-OH. Phosphatidylethanolamine, one aminolipid and two unknown lipids were the major polar lipids. The G+C content of the genomic DNA was 34.2 (±0.3)mol% and MK6 was the sole respiratory quinone. On the basis of its molecular and phenotypic characteristics, strain I54T represents a novel species in the genus Soonwooa , for which the name Soonwooa purpurea sp. nov. is proposed. The type strain is I54T (=KCTC 52722T=JCM 31880T).", }
