Arundinibacter roseus gen. nov., sp. nov., a new member of the family Cytophagaceae.

Three Gram-stain-negative, aerobic, non-motile, oxidase- and catalase positive, rod-shaped, pink-coloured bacterial strains, DMA-K-7aT, DMA-K-1 and DMG-N-1, were isolated from water sampled at Lake Ferto/Neusiedler See (Hungary). Phylogenetic analysis based on the 16S rRNA gene sequences revealed that the strains form a distinct linage within the family Cytophagaceae of the phylum Bacteroidetes, and their closest relatives are Rhabdobacter roseus R49T (95.66 %) and Dyadobacter sediminis Z12T (95.38 %). The assembled genome of strain DMA-K-7aT had a total length of 5.8 Mb and a DNA G+C content of 45.7 mol%. The major isoprenoid quinone was menaquinone-7 (MK-7). The major cellular fatty acids were C16 : 1 ω7c, iso-C15 : 0, C16 : 1 ω5c, C16 : 0 and iso-C17 : 0 3-OH. The polar lipid profile contained phosphatidylethanolamine, phosphatidylserine, an unknown aminolipid, an unknown glycolipid and five unknown lipids. Flexirubin-type pigments were absent. Strain DMA-K-7aT (=DSM 106737T=NCAIM B.02641T) is proposed as the type strain of a new genus and species in the family Cytophagaceae, for which the name Arundinibacter roseus gen. nov., sp. nov. is proposed.
