The taxonomic position of a novel bacterial strain, Ch06^T, isolated from an upflow anaerobic sludge blanket reactor was determined. Strain Ch06^T was Gram-negative, aerobic, motile and oxidase- and catalase-positive. A comparative 16S rRNA gene sequence analysis showed a clear affiliation of strain Ch06^T to the Alphaproteobacteria and it was most closely related to Zoogloea ramigera ATCC 19623 and Mycoplana dimorpha IAM 13154^T (97·9 and 96·3 % sequence similarity, respectively). The major respiratory quinone was Q-10 and the predominant fatty acids were C_{16 : 0}, 3-OH C_{16 : 0}, C_{18 : 0}, C_{19 : 0} cyclo 8c and summed feature 7 (C_{18 : 1}7c/9t/12t, C_{18 : 1}7c/9c/12t). On the basis of phenotypic, chemotaxonomic and phylogenetic characteristics, the novel isolate was assigned to a new genus, Shinella gen. nov., as Shinella granuli gen. nov., sp. nov. (type strain Ch06^T=KCTC 12237^T=JCM 13254^T). It is proposed that Zoogloea ramigera ATCC 19623 is reclassified into the novel genus Shinella as Shinella zoogloeoides sp. nov. (type strain ATCC 19623^T=IAM 12669^T=I-16-M^T).

Published online ahead of print on 21 October 2005 as DOI 10.1099/ijs.0.63942-0.

The GenBank/EMBL/DDBJ accession number for the 16S rRNA gene sequence of strain Ch06^T is AY995149.
