title: Flavobacterium gilvumsp. nov., isolated from stream water.
abstract: A cream-coloured, non-gliding, aerobicFlavobacteriumstrain, designated EM1308T, was isolated from stream water. 16S rRNA gene sequence analysis indicated that this isolate is closely related toFlavobacterium glycinesNBRC 105008T(97.3 % similarity) andFlavobacterium piscisCCUG 60099T(97.2 %). To evaluate the genomic relatedness of the isolate with its neighbours, the whole genome sequences of strain EM1308Tand the type strains ofF. glycinesandF. pisciswere determined. Average nucleotide identities revealed that strain EM1308Tis independent from otherFlavobacteriumspecies. The properties of major cellular fatty acids, polar lipids, menaquinone and DNA G+C content of the isolate were within the general range for the genusFlavobacterium, but many biochemical and physiological characteristics distinguished the isolate from previously known species. Thus, strain EM1308Trepresents a novel species of the genusFlavobacterium, for which the nameFlavobacterium gilvumsp. nov. is proposed. The type strain is EM1308T(=KACC 18113T=JCM 30144T).
