Flexivirga aerilata sp. nov., Isolated from an Automobile Air Conditioning System

A novel light-yellow-coloured, Gram-stain-positive, nearly-coccoid, aerobic bacterium, designated strain ID2601S T was isolated from a car evaporator core collected from South Korea. Strain ID2601S T was catalase positive and oxidase negative, able to grow at pH 6.0–8.0, temperature 20–45 °C, and 0–...

Description
Summary:A novel light-yellow-coloured, Gram-stain-positive, nearly-coccoid, aerobic bacterium, designated strain ID2601S T was isolated from a car evaporator core collected from South Korea. Strain ID2601S T was catalase positive and oxidase negative, able to grow at pH 6.0–8.0, temperature 20–45 °C, and 0–6.0% (w/v) NaCl concentration. The 16S rRNA gene sequence analysis showed that strain ID2601S T belonged to the genus Flexivirga , with the nearest phylogenetic neighbour being Flexivirga endophytica YIM 7505 T (97.9% sequence similarity). The strain comprised diphosphatidylglycerol as the main polar lipid; MK-8(H 4 ) as a predominant respiratory quinone; serine, alanine, glycine, glutamic acid, and lysine as main components of peptidoglycan and iso-C 16:0 , summed feature 9 (iso-C 17:1 ω 9 c and/or C 16:0 10-methyl), anteiso-C 17:0 , and C 17:0 10-methyl as the major fatty acids. The average nucleotide identity (ANI) values between strain ID2601S T and the closest species ( Flexivirga endophytica YIM 7505 T and Flexivirga caeni BO-16 T ) were
