Abstract

Two Gram-stain-negative, aerobic, yellow and rod-shaped bacteria, designated as strains PBS4-4T and GMJ5T, were isolated from soil samples collected in Goyang-si and Paju-si, Gyeonggi-do, Republic of Korea. Strains PBS4-4T and GMJ5T were both positive for catalase and oxidase. Strain PBS4-4T grew at 15–37 °C and pH 5.0–12.0. Strain GMJ5T grew at 15–37 °C and pH 5.0–11.0. Neither strain required NaCl for growth. 16S rRNA sequence analysis revealed that strains PBS4-4T and GMJ5T form a closely related cluster with the genus Chryseobacterium. The average nucleotide identity and digital DNA–DNA hybridization values between strain PBS4-4T and its closely related strains were 79.4–84.5% and 23.2–28.7%, respectively. For GMJ5T, the values were 78.3–79.3% and 22.0–22.6%, respectively. The major fatty acids shared by both novel strains were iso-C15:0 and summed feature 3 (C16:1 ω7c/C16:1 ω6c). Strain GMJ5T had one other major fatty acid: iso-C17:0 3OH. Based on phenotypic, genomic and phylogenetic results, strains PBS4-4T and GMJ5T represent novel species within the genus Chryseobacterium, and the names Chryseobacterium edaphi sp. nov. and Chryseobacterium gilvum sp. nov. are proposed, respectively. The type strain of C. edaphi is PBS4-4T (=KACC 22882T=TBRC 17052T) and the type strain of C. gilvum is GMJ5T (=KACC 22883T=TBRC 17053T).
