Chryseobacterium pennae sp. nov., isolated from poultry feather waste.

ABSTRACT: A Gram-stain-negative, rod-shaped, non-motile, non-spore-forming, aerobic, yellow-pigmented bacterium was isolated from chicken feather waste collected from an abattoir in Bloemfontein, South Africa. A polyphasic taxonomy study was used to describe and name the bacterial isolate, strain 1_F178^T. The 16S rRNA gene sequence analysis and sequence comparison data indicated that strain 1_F178^T was a member of the genus Chryseobacterium and was closely related to Chryseobacterium jejuense (99.1%) and Chryseobacterium nakagawai (98.7%). Overall genome similarity metrics (average nucleotide identity, digital DNA-DNA hybridization and average amino acid identity) revealed greatest similarity to the C. jejuense and C. nakagawai type strains bu
