<i>Flavobacterium aerium</i> sp. nov., a bacterium isolated from the air of the Icelandic volcanic island Surtsey.

ABSTRACT: A novel bacterium, designated 19SA41, was isolated from the air of the Icelandic volcanic island Surtsey. Cells of strain 19SA41 are Gram-stain-negative, strictly aerobic, non-motile rods and form pale yellow-pigmented colonies. The strain grows at 4-30 °C (optimum, 22 °C), at pH 6-10 (optimum, pH 7.5) and with 0-4% NaCl (optimum, 0.5%). Phylogenetic analyses based on 16S rRNA gene sequences showed that 19SA41 belonged to the genus Flavobacterium and is most similar to Flavobacterium xinjiangense DSM 19743^T, with a sequence similarity of 96.52%. The new strain contained iso-C_15 : 0 (22%) and summed feature 3 (C_16∶1ω6c/C_16∶1ω7c) (20%) as the predominant fatty acids. The major respiratory quinone was menaquinone-6 (100%). The polar li
