title: Cloacibacterium rupense sp. nov., isolated from freshwater lake sediment.
abstract: A Gram-negative, yellow-pigmented bacterium, designated strain R2A-16(T), was isolated from sediment of Rupa Lake in Nepal and analysed using a polyphasic taxonomic approach. Phylogenetic analyses based on 16S rRNA gene sequences showed that strain R2A-16(T) is affiliated to the genus Cloacibacterium of the family Flavobacteriaceae; 16S rRNA gene sequence similarity between strain R2A-16(T) and Cloacibacterium normanense CCUG 46293(T) was 98.07 %. The isolate contained iso-C(15 : 0) (35.6 %) as the major fatty acid and menaquinone MK-6 as the predominant respiratory quinone. The G+C content of the genomic DNA was 33.3 mol%. On the basis of its phenotypic properties and phylogenetic distinctiveness, strain R2A-16(T) represents a novel species of the genus Cloacibacterium, for which the name Cloacibacterium rupense sp. nov. is proposed; the type strain is R2A-16(T) (=CGMCC 1.7656(T) =NBRC 104931(T)).
