Luteibacter flocculans sp. nov., Isolated from a Eutrophic Pond and Isolation and Characterization of Luteibacter Phage vB_LflM-Pluto.

ABSTRACT: Luteibacter is a genus of the Rhodanobacteraceae family. The present study describes a novel species within the genus Luteibacter (EIF3^T). The strain was analyzed genomically, morphologically and physiologically. Average nucleotide identity analysis revealed that it is a new species of Luteibacter. In silico analysis indicated two putative prophages (one incomplete, one intact). EIF3^T cells form an elliptical morphotype with an average length of 2.0 µm and width of 0.7 µm and multiple flagella at one end. The bacterial strain is an aerobic Gram-negative with optimal growth at 30 °C. EIF3^T is resistant towards erythromycin, tetracycline and vancomycin. We propose the name Luteibacter flocculans sp. nov. with EIF3^T
