title: Chryseobacterium joostei sp. nov., isolated from the dairy environment.
abstract: Among a large collection of South African dairy isolates, a novel Chryseobacterium taxon (DNA group 3) was previously delineated by a polyphasic taxonomic study (Hugo et al., Syst Appl Microbiol 22, 586-595, 1999). In the present paper, this taxon is further characterized using 16S rDNA sequencing, fatty acid methyl ester analysis and a comparative phenotypic analysis, resulting in the proposal of a novel species, Chryseobacterium joostei sp. nov. (type strain Ix 5a(T) = LMG 18212(T) = CCUG 46665(T)).
