title: Flavobacterium lutivivisp. nov., isolated from activated sludge.
abstract: A Gram-stain-negative, strictly aerobic, yellow, rod-shaped bacterium, designated strain HQQT, was isolated from a municipal wastewater treatment plant in Hebei Province, PR China. Comparative 16S rRNA gene sequence analyses showed that strain HQQTis a member of the genusFlavobacteriumand is closely related to 'Flavobacterium shanxiense' CCTCC AB 2014079T(94.8 %) andFlavobacterium macrobrachiiDSM 22219T(94.7 %). Phylogenetic analysis showed that strain HQQTclustered withFlavobacterium fontisJCM 18212TandFlavobacterium squillarumKCTC 23915T. The polar lipid profile of strain HQQTrevealed the presence of phosphatidylethanolamine, six unknown aminolipids, one unknown glycolipid and one unknown lipid and the only isoprenoid quinone was MK-6. The dominant fatty acids of strain HQQTwere iso-C15 : 0, C15 : 0and C16 : 1ω7c. The DNA G+C content of strain HQQTis 32 mol%. On the basis of the phylogenetic and phenotypic data, strain HQQTrepresents a novel species of the genusFlavobacterium, for which the nameFlavobacterium lutivivisp. nov. is proposed. The type strain is HQQT( = CGMCC 1.15347T= KCTC 42935T).
