Strain H38^T was isolated during a study on the diversity of culturable psychrotolerant bacteria in raw milk. Comparative 16S rRNA gene sequence analysis showed that strain H38^T belongs to the genus Chryseobacterium (family Flavobacteriaceae, phylum Bacteroidetes), with the highest similarity (96.7 %) to Chryseobacterium hispanicum VP48^T. Strain H38^T grows aerobically, at 4–41 °C, with 0–2.5 % NaCl and at pH 6.5–10.5. Light induces the formation of yellow carotenoid pigments. The dominant cellular fatty acids are 15 : 0 iso (41.6 %), 15 : 0 anteiso (16.6 %) and 17 : 0 iso 3-OH (10.3 %). The G+C content of the DNA is 37.8 mol%. On the basis of its phenotypic properties and phylogenetic distinctiveness, strain H38^T (=LMG 24029^T =DSM 19056^T) is classified in the genus Chryseobacterium as the type strain of a novel species, for which the name Chryseobacterium haifense sp. nov. is proposed.
