  • Title: Flavobacterium niveum sp. nov., isolated from a freshwater creek.
    Author: Chen WM, Chen WT, Young CC, Sheu SY.
    Journal: Int J Syst Evol Microbiol; 2019 Jan; 69(1):271-277. PubMed ID: 30499767.
    Abstract:
    Strain TAPW14T was isolated from a freshwater creek in Taiwan. Phylogenetic analyses based on 16S rRNA gene sequences showed that strain TAPW14T belonged to the genus Flavobacterium and was most closely related to Flavobacterium akiainvivens IK-1T (96.6 % sequence identity) and Flavobacterium hauense BX12T (96.0 %) and less than 96 % sequence similarity to other members of the genus. Cells of strain TAPW14T were Gram-negative, strictly aerobic, motile by gliding, rod-shaped and formed white colonies. Optimal growth occurred at 20 °C, pH 7 and in the presence of 0.5 % NaCl. Strain TAPW14T contained summed feature 3 (C16 : 1ω6c and/or C16 : 1ω7c), iso-C15 : 0 and C16 : 0 as the predominant fatty acids. The polar lipid profile consisted of phosphatidylethanolamine, three uncharacterized aminophospholipids, one uncharacterized phospholipid and one uncharacterized lipid. The major polyamine was homospermidine. The major isoprenoid quinone was MK-6. The DNA G+C content of the genomic DNA was 46.0 mol%. On the basis of the phylogenetic inference and phenotypic data, strain TAPW14T should be classified as a novel species, for which the name Flavobacteriumniveum sp. nov. is proposed. The type strain is TAPW14T (=BCRC 81055T=LMG 30057T=KCTC 52808T).
