نبذة مختصرة : An orange-pigmented, Gram-negative, nonmotile, strictly aerobic and oxidase- and catalase-positive bacterium (SM-A87T) was isolated from the deep-sea sediment of the southern Okinawa Trough area. The main fatty acids were i15 : 0, i17 : 0 3OH, i15 : 1 G, i17 : 1ω9c, 15 : 0, i15 : 0 3OH and summed feature 3 (comprising i-15 : 0 2OH and/or 16 : 1ω7c). MK-6 was the predominant respiratory quinone. DNA G+C content was 35.8 mol%. Flexirubin-type pigments were absent. Phylogenetic analyses based on 16S rRNA gene sequences revealed that strain SM-A87T formed a distinct lineage within the family Flavobacteriaceae , with <93% sequence similarity to the nearest strain of genus Salegentibacter . Moreover, strain SM-A87T could be distinguished from the nearest phylogenetic neighbors by a number of chemotaxonomic and phenotypic properties. On the basis of polyphasic analyses, it is proposed that strain SM-A87T be classified in a novel genus and a new species in the family Flavobacteriaceae , designated Wangia profunda gen. nov., sp. nov. The type strain is SM-A87T (CCTCC AB 206139T=DSM 18752).
