sp. nov., a bacterium isolated from feces of oriental stork, .

A novel Gram-stain-negative, facultatively anaerobic, non-motile, non-violet-pigmented, rod-shaped bacterium, designated strain H11R3, was isolated from the feces of Oriental stork, , collected from Seoul Grand Park Zoo, Republic of Korea. Phylogenetic analysis of the 16S rRNA gene sequence revealed that H11R3 formed a monophyletic clade with DSM 3764, DSM 100243, and DSM 103822, with sequence similarities of 98.8, 98.6 and 98.4 %, respectively. H11R3 grew optimally at 15 °C, pH 8, with 0.5 % (w/v) NaCl. The predominant isoprenoid quinone was ubiquinone-8 (Q-8), and polar lipids included phosphatidylethanolamine, three unidentified lipids, four unidentified phospholipids, and two unidentified aminophospholipids. The major fatty acids were summed feature 3 and C, and the DNA G+C content of the genome is 48.0 mol%. The average nucleotide identity (ANI) value between strains H11R3 and NCTC 11159 (=DSM 3764) is 83.7 %. On the basis of phenotypic, genotypic, phylogenetic and chemotaxonomic characteristics, strain H11R3 represents a novel species of the genus for which the name sp. nov. is proposed. The type strain is H11R3 (=KCTC 62666=JCM 33283).
