A novel Gram-stain-negative, aerobic, yellowish-pigmented, non-motile, rod-shaped bacterial strain, designated strain BO-59 T , was isolated from the activated sludge of a wastewater treatment plant in Hanam City, South Korea. Phylogenetic study based on the 16S rRNA gene sequence positioned BO-59 T in a distinct lineage in the family Chitinophagaceae , sharing less than 92.8% sequence similarity with members of the closely related genera Ferruginibacter , Flavitalea , Pseudoflavitalea, Flavisolibacter, Niastella , and Terrimonas . Phylogenomic- and genomic relatedness analyses revealed that strain BO-59 T is clearly distinguished from other genera in the family Chitinophagaceae by average nucleotide identity
