Strain FYK2218T was isolated from a specimen of the chiton Acanthopleura japonica, which had been collected from a beach on the Boso peninsula in Japan. Phylogenetic analyses based on 16S rRNA gene sequences revealed that the strain belonged to the phylum ‘Acidobacteria’. The most closely related type strains to strain FYK2218T were Holophaga foetida TMBS4T (83.6 % 16S rRNA gene sequence similarity) and Geothrix fermentans H-5T (83.6 %) in subdivision 8 of the ‘Acidobacteria’. Cells of FYK2218T were motile, rod-shaped, Gram-negative, mesophilic and strictly aerobic. The G+C content of the strain was 56.7 mol%. The strain had isoprenoid quinones MK-6 and MK-7 as major components. Major fatty acids of the strain were iso-C15 : 0, iso-C17 : 0, C16 : 0 and C20 : 5 ω3c (cis-5,8,11,14,17-eicosapentaenoic acid). From the taxonomic data obtained in this study, it is proposed that the new marine isolate be placed into a novel genus and species named Acanthopleuribacter pedis gen. nov., sp. nov. within the new family, order and class Acanthopleuribacteraceae fam. nov., Acanthopleuribacterales ord. nov. and Holophagae classis nov. The family Holophagaceae fam. nov. is also described. The type strain of Acanthopleuribacter pedis is FYK2218T (=NBRC 101209T =KCTC 12899T).
-
The DDBJ/GenBank/EMBL accession number for the 16S rRNA gene sequence of Acanthopleuribacter pedis FYK2218T is AB303221.

Transmission electron micrographs of strain FYK2218T, a 16S rRNA gene sequence-based tree and a detailed fatty acid profile of strain FYK2218T are available as supplementary material with the online version of this paper.
