Abstract

A Gram-reaction-negative, yellow-pigmented, strictly aerobic bacterium, designated M0116, was isolated from the sediment of the Mohe Basin in north-east China. Flexirubin-type pigments were produced. Cells were catalase- and oxidase-positive and non-gliding rods. Phylogenetic analysis based on 16S rRNA gene sequences revealed that strain M0116 was a member of the family and was most closely related to members of the genera , and with 90.5–91.0 % sequence similarities. The major cellular fatty acids were iso-C and iso-C 3-OH. The major respiratory quinone was MK-6 and the major polar lipid was phosphatidylethanolamine. The DNA G+C content was 38.2 mol%. Based on phenotypic, phylogenetic and genotypic data, strain M0116 is considered to represent a novel species of a new genus in the family , for which the name gen. nov., sp. nov. is proposed. The type strain is M0116 ( = CGMCC 1.12708 = JCM 19634). Emended descriptions of , and are also proposed.
