ABSTRACT
Strain Ran72T, a novel Gram-stain-negative, obligately aerobic, non-motile, and rod-shaped bacterium, was isolated from the faeces of the rhinoceros species Ceratotherium simum. The novel bacterial strain grew optimally in Reasoner's 2A medium under the following conditions 0â% (w/v) NaCl, pH 7.5, and 30â°C. Based on phylogenetic analysis using 16S rRNA gene sequencing, strain Ran72T was found to be most closely related to Chryseobacterium faecale F4T (98.4â%), Kaistella soli DKR-2T (98.0â%), and Kaistella haifensis H38T (97.4â%). A comprehensive genome-level comparison between strain Ran72T with C. faecale F4T, K. soli DKR-2T, and K. haifensis H38T revealed average nucleotide identity, digital DNA-DNA hybridization, and average amino acid identity values of ≤74.9, ≤19.3, and ≤78.7â%, respectively. The major fatty acids were anteiso-C15ââ0 (22.3â%), with MK-6 being the predominant respiratory quinone. The major polar lipids of strain Ran72T were phosphatidylethanolamine, four unidentified aminolipids, and two unidentified lipids. Based on our chemotaxonomic, genotypic, and phenotype characterizations, strain Ran72T was identified as representing a novel species in the genus Kaistella, for which the name Kaistella rhinocerotis sp. nov. is proposed, with the type strain Ran72T (=KACC 23136T=JCM 36038T). Based on the outcomes of our phylogenomic study, Chryseobacterium faecale should be reclassified under the genus Kaistella as Kaistella faecalis comb. nov.
