title: Niveibacterium umorisgen. nov., sp. nov., isolated from wetland freshwater.
abstract: A taxonomic study was carried out on a novel bacterial strain, designated MIC2059T, which was isolated from Ungok Wetland of Gochang in Korea. Cells of the isolate were found to be Gram-stain-negative, rod-shaped and motile. Comparison of the 16S rRNA gene sequences indicated that the isolate belonged to the familyRhodocyclaceae, withUliginosibacterium gangwonenseas its closest relative, with a similarity of 94.8 %. It contained summed feature 3 (comprising C16 : 1ω7cand/or C16 : 1ω6c), C16 : 0, summed feature 8 (comprising C18 : 1ω7cand/or C18 : 1ω6c) and C12 : 03-OH as the major fatty acids and Q8 as the respiratory ubiquinone. The polar lipid profile of strain MIC2059Trevealed the presence of phosphatidylethanolamine, phosphatidylglycerol and diphosphatidylglycerol as major polar lipids. In addition, phosphatidylserine, an unidentified aminophospholipid and unidentified lipids were present in small amounts. The DNA G+C content of the strain was 65.1 mol%. On the basis of the evidence presented, it is concluded that strain MIC2059Trepresents a novel species of a novel genus within the familyRhodocyclaceae,for which the nameNiveibacterium umorisgen. nov., sp. nov. is proposed. The type strain is MIC2059T( = KACC 17062T= JCM 18716T).
