Arcicella aquatica NO-502^T, obtained from a neuston film on a freshwater lake and belonging to the phylum Bacteroidetes, is characterized by ring-forming cells. The bacterium is a strict aerobe, with optimal growth between 28 and 30 °C. Carbohydrates, but no organic acids or amino acids, are used as substrates. The G+C content of strain NO-502^T is 34·5 mol%; its genome size is 2·9x10⁹ Da. The genus Arcicella and its type species Arcicella aquatica (type strain NO-502^T=LMG 21963^T=CIP 107990^T) are proposed, and descriptions of this genus and species are given.

Published online ahead of print on 9 January 2004 as DOI 10.1099/ijs.0.02896-0.

The GenBank/EMBL/DDBJ accession number for the 16S rRNA gene sequence of Arcicella aquatica NO-502^T is AJ535729.
