The taxonomic position of bacterial strain, designated 15J16-
1T3AT, recovered from a soil sample was established using
a polyphasic approach. Phylogenic analysis based on the
16S rRNA gene sequence showed that strain 15J16-1T3AT
belonged to the family Cytophagaceae, phylum Bacteroidetes,
and was most closely related to ‘Larkinella harenae’ 15J9-9
(95.9% similarity), Larkinella ripae 15J11-11T (95.6%), Larkinella
bovis M2TB15T (94.7%), Larkinella arboricola Z0532T
(93.9%), and Larkinella insperata LMG 22510T (93.5%). Cells
were rod-shaped, Gram-stain-negative, aerobic, and nonmotile.
The isolate grew on NA, R2A, TSA, but not on LB
agar. The strain was able to grow at temperature range from
10°C to 30°C with an optimum at 25°C and pH 6–8. Menaquinone
MK-7 was the predominant respiratory quinone.
The major cellular fatty acids comprised C16:1 ω5c (48.6%)
and C15:0 iso (24.1%). Phosphatidylethanolamine, phosphatidylserine,
and an unidentified lipid were the major polar
lipids. The G + C content of the genomic DNA was 49.5
mol%. Strain 15J16-1T3AT could be distinguished from its
closest phylogenetic neighbors based on its phenotypic, genotypic,
and chemotaxonomic features. Therefore, the isolate
is considered to represent a novel species in the genus
Larkinella, for which the name Larkinella roseus sp. nov. is
proposed. The type strain is 15J16-1T3AT (= KCTC 52004T
= JCM 31991T).
