    Abstract:

    This study presents taxonomic descriptions of strains CYK-4T and TWA-26T isolated from freshwater habitats in Taiwan. Both strains were Gram-stain-negative, strictly aerobic, motile by gliding and rod-shaped. Phylogenetic analyses based on 16S rRNA gene sequences and coding sequences of 92 protein clusters indicated that both strains belonged to the genus Flavobacterium. Analysis of 16S rRNA gene sequences showed that strains CYK-4T and TWA-26T shared 92.7 % sequence similarity and were most closely related to Flavobacterium ovatum W201ET (95.6 %) and Flavobacterium aquaticum JC164T (96.7 %), respectively. Both strains shared common chemotaxonomic characteristics comprising MK-6 as the main isoprenoid quinone, iso-C15 : 0 and iso-C15 : 1 G as the predominant fatty acids, phosphatidylethanolamine as the principal polar lipid, and homospermidine as the major polyamine. The DNA G+C contents of strains CYK-4T and TWA-26T were 41.5 and 31.8 mol%, respectively. The average nucleotide identity, average amino acid identity and digital DNA-DNA hybridization values between these two novel isolates and their closest relatives were below the cut-off values of 95-96, 90 and 70 %, respectively, used for species demarcation. On the basis of phenotypic and genotypic properties and phylogenetic inference, both strains should be classified as novel species within the genus Flavobacterium, for which the names Flavobacterium lotistagni sp. nov. (type strain CYK-4T=BCRC 81192T=LMG 31330T) and Flavobacterium celericrescens sp. nov. (type strain TWA-26T=BCRC 81200T=LMG 31333T) are proposed.

  • Flavobacterium weaverense sp nov and Flavobacterium segetis sp nov novel psychrophiles isolated from the antarctic
    International Journal of Systematic and Evolutionary Microbiology, 2006
    Co-Authors: Hana Yi, Jongsik Chun
    Abstract:

    Two psychrophilic flavobacteria, designated AT1042T and AT1048T, were isolated from terrestrial samples from the Antarctic. Results of 16S rRNA gene sequence analyses indicated a close relationship of these isolates to Flavobacterium flevense (96.9 % similarity for strain AT1042T) and Flavobacterium psychrolimnae (97.0 % for strain AT1048T). Cells were non-motile and non-gliding. Flexirubin-type pigments were absent. Both isolates were psychrophilic, with an optimum and maximum growth temperature of about 15 and 20 °C, respectively. The major isoprenoid quinone, predominant cellular fatty acids and DNA G+C contents (35–37 mol%) were consistent with the placement of the Antarctic isolates in the genus Flavobacterium. Phylogeny based on 16S rRNA gene sequences and several phenotypic characteristics could be used to differentiate these isolates from recognized Flavobacterium species. Despite high 16S rRNA gene sequence similarity (98.9 %) between strains AT1042T and AT1048T, they represented two distinct species as demonstrated by low genomic relatedness (34 %) and a number of differential phenotypic characters. The polyphasic data presented in this study indicated that the new isolates should be classified within two novel species in the genus Flavobacterium. The names Flavobacterium weaverense sp. nov. (type strain AT1042T=IMSNU 14048T=KCTC 12223T=JCM 12384T) and Flavobacterium segetis sp. nov. (type strain AT1048T=IMSNU 14050T=KCTC 12224T=JCM 12385T) are proposed for these Antarctic isolates.

Phylogenetic analysis of the 16S rRNA gene sequences showed that strain BX12(T) was most closely related to Flavobacterium subsaxonicum WB 4.1-42(T) (95.9% 16S rRNA gene sequence similarity), followed by Flavobacterium beibuense F44-8(T) (95.6%) and Flavobacterium rivuli WB 3.3-2(T) (94.1%). The major fatty acids (≥5%) of strain BX12(T) were summed feature 3 (comprising C(16:1)ω7c and/or C(16:1)ω6c), iso-C(15:0), C(16:0), iso-C(17:0) 3-OH, and C(16:0) 3-OH. The major polar lipid was phosphatidylethanolamine, and the major respiratory quinone was menaquinone-6. The genomic DNA G+C content was 43.9 mol%. On the basis of a high number of phenotypic differentiating properties and phylogenetic uniqueness, strain BX12(T) represents a novel species of the genus Flavobacterium for which the name Flavobacterium hauense sp. nov. is proposed. The type strain is BX12(T) ( =CCTCC AB 2012197(T) =KCTC 32147(T)). Emended descriptions of Flavobacterium subsaxonicum, Flavobacterium beibuense and Flavobacterium rivuli are also proposed.

    Abstract:

    Two Gram-stain-negative, rod-shaped bacteria, designated strains Sr22T and Sr25T, were isolated from water of melted ice from the China No.1 glacier, Xinjiang Uygur Autonomous Region, China. Cells formed yellow, circular, convex colonies. 16S rRNA gene sequence analysis indicated that strains Sr22T and Sr25T belong to the genus Flavobacterium , sharing ≤99.1  and ≤99.6 % similarity, respectively, with the type strains of recognized species of the genus. Strain Sr22T shared highest 16S rRNA gene sequence similarity with Flavobacterium tiangeerense CGMCC 1.6847T (98.6 %), Flavobacterium fryxellicola LMG 22022T (98.1 %) and Flavobacterium omnivorum CGMCC 1.2747T (99.1 %). Strain Sr25T shared highest similarity with Flavobacterium sinopsychrotolerans CGMCC 1.8704T (98.5 %), Flavobacterium degerlachei NBRC 102677T (98.4 %) and Flavobacterium xinjiangense CGMCC 1.2749T (99.5 %). The predominant fatty acids of strain Sr22T were iso-C15 : 1 G (6.01 %), iso-C15 : 0 (8.93 %), iso-C16 : 1 H (12.68 %), iso-C16 : 0 (10.4 %), C15 : 1ω6c (8.97 %), C17 : 1ω6c (5.96 %), iso-C16 : 0 3-OH (11.14 %) and summed feature 3 (comprising C16 : 1ω7c and/or C16 : 1ω6c, 12.33 %). The major fatty acids of strain Sr25T were iso-C15 : 0 (10.8 %), anteiso-C15 : 0 (5.23 %), C15 : 1ω6c (11.79 %), C17 : 1ω6c (5.43 %), iso-C16 : 0 3-OH (7.04 %) and summed feature 3 (20.42 %). The genomic DNA G+C contents of strains Sr22T and Sr25T were 37.2 and 35.1 mol%. On the basis of differential phenotypic and phylogenetic characteristics, these strains are considered to represent two novel species of the genus Flavobacterium , for which the names Flavobacterium xueshanense sp. nov. (type strain Sr22T  = CGMCC 1.9227T  = NBRC 106479T) and Flavobacterium urumqiense sp. nov. (type strain Sr25T  = CGMCC 1.9230T  = NBRC 106480T) are proposed.
