A polyphasic taxonomic approach was employed to characterize a strain designated GPTSA100-9 T , which was isolated from water sampled from a warm spring. The micro-organism, comprising Gram-negative, strictly aerobic rods, could not grow on nutritionally rich media such as tryptic soy broth. Analysis of the 16S rRNA gene sequence (1396 nt) of strain GPTSA100-9 T revealed that it is a member of the genus Flavobacterium , sharing 99.8 % sequence similarity with the CFB group bacterium strain A0653 (AF236016 ), 93.4 % with [ Flexibacter ] aurantiacus subsp. excathedrus and 93.292.0 % with Flavobacterium saliperosum , Flavobacterium soli , Flavobacterium aquatile and Flavobacterium columnare . The G+C content of the genomic DNA was 31.0 mol%. The major fatty acids of the strain grown on modified R2A agar were iso-C 15 : 0 (18.5 %), iso-C 15 : 1 G (18.0 %), summed feature 3 (iso-C 15 : 0 2-OH and/or C 16 : 1 7 c , 16.6 %) and iso-C 17 : 0 3-OH (9.0 %). On the basis of phenotypic and genotypic characteristics, strain GPTSA100-9 T represents a novel species of the genus Flavobacterium , for which the name Flavobacterium indicum sp. nov. is proposed. The type strain is GPTSA100-9 T (=MTCC 6936 T =DSM 17447 T ).
The GenBank/EMBL/DDBJ accession number for the 16S rRNA gene sequence of strain GPTSA100-9 T is AY904351 . |
