Flavisolibacter aluminii sp. nov., a novel member of the genus Flavisolibacter isolated from an automotive air conditioning system

A Gram-stain-negative, aerobic, non-motile, rod-shaped, and yellow-pigmented bacterium, designated strain ID1709 T , was isolated from an automotive air conditioning system collected in Korea. Analysis of 16S rRNA gene sequence similarity showed that strain ID1709 T had 92.2–94.3% similarities with the type strains of members of the genus Flavisolibacter . The major cellular fatty acids were iso-C 15:0 , iso-C 15:1 G, iso-C 17:0 3-OH, and summed feature 3 (C 16:1 ω7c and/or C 16:1 ω6c ). The predominant respiratory quinone was MK-7. The polar lipids comprised phosphatidylethanolamine, aminoglycophospholipid, two unidentified aminolipids, and three unidentified lipids. The DNA G + C content of the strain was 35.6 mol%. Based on phenotypic, chemotaxonomic, and genotypic data, strain ID1709T represents a novel species in the genus Flavisolibacter, for which the name Flavisolibacter aluminii sp. nov. (= KACC 19451 T = KCTC 52778 T = NBRC 112870 T ), is proposed.
