Vogesella perlucida sp. nov., a non-pigmented bacterium isolated from spring water.
A transparent, non-pigmented, Gram-negative, rod-shaped bacterium, designated strain DS-28(T), was isolated from water samples collected from a spring located in Tainan County, Taiwan. 16S rRNA gene sequence analysis indicated that the novel strain formed a monophyletic branch at the periphery of the evolutionary radiation occupied by the genus Vogesella; the only sole close neighbour of the novel strain was Vogesella indigofera ATCC 19706(T) (97.4 % 16S rRNA gene sequence similarity). The isolate was distinguished from V. indigofera on the basis of genotypic data, several phenotypic properties and an inability to produce characteristic blue-pigmented colonies on peptone agar. The fatty acid profile was slightly different from that reported for V. indigofera ATCC 19706(T). It was evident from the genotypic and phenotypic data that strain DS-28(T) represents a novel species of the genus Vogesella, for which the name Vogesella perlucida sp. nov. is proposed. The type strain is DS-28(T) (=BCRC 17730(T)=LMG 24214(T)).
