Cells of strain LY-1T were strictly aerobic, non-motile and rod-shaped. Strain LY-1T grew optimally at pH 7.0 and at 30–35 °C. The taxonomic position was investigated using a polyphasic approach. Phylogenetic analysis based on 16S rRNA gene sequences revealed that strain LY-1T was a member of the genus Chitinophaga and showed the highest sequence similarity to Chitinophaga costaii A37T2T (97.5 %) and lower (<97.0 %) sequence similarity to other known Chitinophaga species. Chemotaxonomic analysis revealed that strain LY-1T possessed menaquinone-7 as the major isoprenoid quinone; and iso-C15 : 0 (46.4 %), C16 : 1ω5c (27.8 %) and iso-C17 : 0 3-OH (9.0 %) were the predominant fatty acids. The polar lipids of strain LY-1T consisted of phosphatidylethanolamine, three unidentified phosphoaminolipids, one unidentified phospholipid, four unidentified lipids, two unidentified aminolipids and two unidentified glycolipids. The genomic DNA G+C content of strain LY-1T was 52.4 mol% based on total genome calculations. The average nucleotide identity and the digital DNA–DNA hybridization value of the draft genomes between strain LY-1T and strain A37T2T were 76.8 and 19.8 %, respectively. Based on the phylogenetic and phenotypic characteristics, chemotaxonomic data, and DNA–DNA hybridization, strain LY-1T is considered a novel species of the genus Chitinophaga , for which the name Chitinophaga parva sp. nov. (type strain LY-1T=CCTCC AB 2018018T=KCTC 62444T) is proposed.
The GenBank/EMBL/DDBJ accession number for the 16S rRNA gene sequence of Chitinophaga parva LY-1T is MG871256. The GenBank/EMBL/DDBJ accession numbers for the draft genome sequences of Chitinophaga parva LY-1T and Chitinophaga costaii A37T2T are QCYK00000000 and QCYL00000000, respectively.
