Abstract

A yellowish, flexirubin-pigment-producing strain $I3-3^T$ was isolated from river water in Iksan, the Republic of Korea. The strain was gram-negative, aerobic, non-motile, showed catalase and oxidase activities, and could grow at a temperature range of $10-35^{\circ}C$, pH 5.0-10 and 0-2.0% (w/v) of NaCl. The major fatty acids were iso-$C_{15:0}$, iso-$C_{17:0}$ 3-OH and summed feature 3 (comprising $C_{16:1}{\omega}7c$ and/or $C_{16:1}{\omega}6c$). The isolate contained phosphatidylethanolamine, one aminolipid, and two unidentified lipids as the major polar lipids. Menaquinone-6 (MK6) was the major respiratory quinone. The G+C content of the genomic DNA of strain $I3-3^T$ was 35.6%. Comparison of the 16S rRNA gene sequence with the sequences of the closely related type strains showed highest sequence similarity of 96.95% and 96.93% to Flavobacterium nitrogenifigens $NXU-44^T$ and Flavobacterium compostarboris $15C3^T$, respectively. Based on phenotypic and phylogenetic distinctiveness, strain $I3-3^T$ is considered as a member of novel species within the genus Flavobacterium, for which Flavobacterium amnigenum sp. nov. is proposed. The type strain is $I3-3^T$ (=KCTC $52884^T$ =NBRC $112871^T$).
