A bacterium designated strain Liujia-146^T was isolated in the Tainan area of southern Taiwan from root nodules of the aquatic legume Neptunia oleracea. 16S rRNA gene sequence analysis indicated that strain Liujia-146^T was highly similar to Labrys monachus VKM B-1479^T (97.8 %) and Labrys methylaminiphilus JLW10^T (95.5 %) and belonged to the order Rhizobiales in the Alphaproteobacteria. On the basis of phylogenetic analysis, DNA–DNA hybridization data, physiological and biochemical characteristics and fatty acid compositions, the organism was shown to belong to the genus Labrys whilst representing a novel species within this genus. We propose to classify strain Liujia-146^T (=BCRC 17578^T=LMG 23578^T) as the type strain of Labrys neptuniae sp. nov.

Fatty acid compositions and whole-cell protein profiles of strain Liujia-146^T and related strains are available as supplementary material in IJSEM Online.
