Isolation of Chryseobacterium siluri sp. nov., from liver of diseased catfish (Silurus asotus).

ABSTRACT: Yellow-pigmented, circular bacteria (strain SNU WT7) were isolated from the liver of moribund eastern catfish (Silurus asotus). Our study focused on the taxonomic description of SNU WT7 using phylogenetic, phenotypic, and chemotaxonomic analyses. The 16S rRNA gene sequence of the SNU WT7 strain was highly similar to that of Chryseobacterium haifense H38^T (97.29% similarity), followed by Chryseobacterium hominis P2K6^T (97.22% similarity), while other species exhibited similarity values of less than 97.0%. The genome of strain SNU WT7 displayed average nucleotide identity and genome-to-genome distance values of 72.35% and 22.0%, respectively, which clearly indicated that the novel species was distant from the other Chryseobacterium species, w
