Abstract

A -like bacterium, designated strain SYSU HZH-2, was isolated from a water sample collected from Haizhu Lake, Guangzhou, China. The bacterium was fastidious, and required an exogenous source of -cysteine for its growth on artificial media. Cells were Gram-stain-negative, coccobacilli, non-motile and non-spore-forming. The strain shared highest 16S rRNA gene sequence similarities with SYSU D3-2 (94.6 % identity), UST040201-002 (93.2 %) and 51 (91.6 %). This strain possessed ubiquinone-8 as the respiratory quinone; diphosphatidylglycerol, phosphatidylcholine, phosphatidylethanolamine and phosphatidylglycerol as the known polar lipids, and anteiso-C and C as the major fatty acids (>10 % of total fatty acids). The dendrograms based on 16S rRNA gene sequence analysis showed that it formed a separate cluster along with SYSU D3-2, 51 and UST040201-002. Based on the 16S rRNA gene sequence identity and differences in other phenotypic characteristics, the strain is considered to represent a novel species of a novel genus, for which the name gen. nov., sp. nov. is proposed. The type strain of the type species is SYSU HZH-2 (=NBRC 112274 = CGMCC 1.15950). Additionally, the new taxon along with the genera , and (family unassigned) were distinctly separated from the related families , and in the phylogenetic trees. Therefore, we proposed a new family fam. nov. within the order to accommodate these four genera.
