Abstract

A Gram-negative, yellow-pigmented, rod-shaped bacteria, designated M09-0166(T)and M09-1053 were isolated from human urine samples. 16S rRNA gene sequence analysis revealed that the isolates belong to the Myroides cluster and were closely related to Myroides phaeus DSM 23313(T) (96.3 %), Myroides odoratimimus KCTC 23053(T) (96.1 %), Myroides profundi KCTC 23066(T) (96.0 %), Myroides odoratus KCTC 23054(T) (95.4 %) and Myroides pelagicus KCTC 12661(T) (95.2 %). The major mena quinone was identified as MK-6. The major polar lipids were identified as phosphatidylethanolamine, amino lipids, and several unknown lipids, and the major fatty acids as iso-C15:0 and iso-C17:0 3-OH. Phenotypic and chemotaxonomic data supported the affiliation of the isolates with the genus Myroides and clearly indicated that two isolates represent novel species, for which the name Myroides injenensis sp. nov. (type strain, M09-0166(T) = KCTC 23367(T) = JCM 17451(T)) is proposed.
