Luteolibacter luojiensis sp. nov., isolated from Arctic tundra soil, and emended description of the genus Luteolibacter Jiang, Fan and Li, Wenjuan and Xiao, Mengchen and Dai, Jun and Kan, Wenjing and Chen, Lu and Li, Wenxin and Fang, Chengxiang and Peng, Fang,, 62, 2259-2263 (2012), doi = https://doi.org/10.1099/ijs.0.037309-0, publicationName = Microbiology Society, issn = 1466-5026, abstract= A yellow-pigmented, Gram-reaction-negative, non-motile, aerobic bacterium, designated DR4-30T, was isolated from tundra soil near Ny-Ålesund, Svalbard Archipelago, Norway (78° 58′ N 12° 03′ E). Growth occurred at 4–28 °C (optimum 20–25 °C) and at pH 7–8 (optimum pH 7). Phylogenetic analysis based on 16S rRNA gene sequences indicated that strain DR4-30T belongs to the genus Luteolibacter in the family Verrucomicrobiaceae . The 16S rRNA gene sequence of this strain showed 95.4 and 94.7 % sequence similarity to those of Luteolibacter pohnpeiensis A4T-83T and Luteolibacter algae A5J-41-2T, respectively. The major respiratory quinones were MK-9 and MK-10; the predominant cellular fatty acids were summed feature 3 (C16 : 1ω7c and/or C16 : 1ω6c; 20.7 %), iso-C14 : 0 (20.3 %), C17 : 0 (10.7 %), C16 : 0 (8.0 %) and C14 : 0 (6.6 %). The DNA G+C content was 57.3 mol%. On the basis of phenotypic, chemotaxonomic and phylogenetic data, strain DR4-30T represents a novel species of the genus Luteolibacter , for which the name Luteolibacter luojiensis sp. nov. is proposed. The type strain is DR4-30T ( = CCTCC AB 2010415T  = NRRL B-59669T). An emended description of the genus Luteolibacter is also provided., language=, type=
