Abstract
A golden-pigmented, Gram-strain-negative, aerobic, rod-shaped, non-flagellated and non-gliding bacterium, designated strain lm2T, was isolated from activated sludge obtained from a wastewater treatment plant in Binzhou (Shandong province, PR China). Growth occurred at 15-45°C (optimum, 30 °C), in the presence of 0-5.0 % (w/v) NaCl (optimum, 0-2.0 %) and at pH 6.5-8.0 (optimum, pH 7.0-7.5). The chemotaxonomic, phenotypic and genomic traits were investigated. Phylogenetic analysis based on 16S rRNA gene sequence showed that strain lm2T belonged to the genus Chryseobacterium, with highest sequence similarity to Chryseobacterium echinoideorum CC-CZW010T (97.1 %). Genome sequencing revealed a genome size of 3 611 894 bp and a G+C content of 34.9 mol%. The average nucleotide identity value and the digital DNA-DNA hybridization (dDDH) value between strain lm2T and C. echinoideorum JCM 30470T were 87.8 and 34.7 %, respectively. The major respiratory quinone was Menaquinone-6 (MK-6). The major fatty acids were iso-C15 : 0, iso-C17 : 0 3-OH and iso-C17 : 1 ω9c and its polar lipids consisted of phosphatidylethanolamine (PE), unidentified lipids (L1-5) and unidentified aminolipids (AL1-4). On the basis of these data, strain lm2T is considered to represent a novel species of the genus Chryseobacterium, for which the name Chryseobacterium binzhouense sp. nov. is proposed. The type strain is lm2T (=KCTC 72529T=CCTCC AB2019126T).
