Four new members of the family Cytophagaceae: Chryseosolibacter histidini gen. nov., sp. nov., Chryseosolibacter indicus gen. nov., sp. nov., Dawidia cretensis, gen. nov., sp. nov., and Dawidia soli, gen. nov., sp. nov. isolated from diverse habitat.

ABSTRACT: Four novel strains were isolated: PWU4^T and PWU20^T were both from soil in Germany, PWU5^T was isolated from soil in India and PWU37^T was obtained from sheep faeces collected on the Island of Crete. Cells of each were observed to be Gram-negative, strictly aerobic, rod shaped, and to grow optimally between 28 and 34 °C, between pH 7.0 and 8.0 and without the addition of NaCl. The strains were found to be catalase and oxidase-negative and able to grow on most mono- and disaccharides, a few polysaccharides and organic acids. Their predominant menaquinone was identified as MK-7. Their major fatty acids were identified as C_16:1 ω7c (PWU4^T and PWU20^T) and C_16:1 ω5c (PWU5^T and PWU37^T). The
