The taxonomic status of a novel, heterotrophic, strictly aerobic, gliding and yellow-orange-pigmented bacterium (strain KMM 6264(T)), associated with the coral Palythoa, was determined. The 16S rRNA gene sequence analysis indicated that strain KMM 6264(T) clustered with the recognized species of the genus Leeuwenhoekiella of the family Flavobacteriaceae with 96.4-98.2 % sequence similarity. DNA-DNA reassociation levels between the isolate and the type strains of Leeuwenhoekiella species were 15-22 %. The DNA G+C content was 41.2 mol%. The phylogenetic evidence and the results of genomic and phenotypic analyses showed that the isolate should be classified as a member of a novel species of the genus Leeuwenhoekiella, for which the name Leeuwenhoekiella palythoae sp. nov. is proposed. The type strain is KMM 6264(T) (=KCTC 22020(T)=LMG 24856(T)).
一种新型异养、严格需氧、滑行、呈黄橙色的细菌（菌株 KMM 6264(T)）与珊瑚 Palythoa 相关，其分类地位已确定。16S rRNA 基因序列分析表明，菌株 KMM 6264(T)与黄杆菌科 Leeuwenhoekiella 属的公认种聚在一起，序列相似度为 96.4-98.2%。该分离株与 Leeuwenhoekiella 属的模式菌株之间的 DNA-DNA 同源性为 15-22%。DNA G+C 含量为 41.2 mol%。系统发育证据以及基因组和表型分析的结果表明，该分离株应归类为 Leeuwenhoekiella 属的一个新种，将其命名为 Leeuwenhoekiella palythoae sp. nov.。模式菌株为 KMM 6264(T)（=KCTC 22020(T)=LMG 24856(T)）。
