Abstract

Strain FF12(T) was isolated from the mouth of a West African lungfish (Protopterus annectens) in Senegal. MALDI-TOF-MS did not provide any identification. This strain exhibited a 97.97% 16S rRNA sequence identity with Kaistella flava. Using a polyphasic study including phenotypic and genomic analyses, strain FF12(T) is Gram-negative, aero-anaerobic, oxidase-positive, non-motile, non-spore-forming, and exhibited a genome of 4,397,629 bp with a G+C content of 35.1% that coded 4,001 protein-coding and 55 RNA genes. On the basis of these data, we propose the creation of Chryseobacterium senegalense strain FF12(T).
