A transparent, non-pigmented, Gram-negative, rod-shaped bacterium, designated strain DS-28^T, was isolated from water samples collected from a spring located in Tainan County, Taiwan. 16S rRNA gene sequence analysis indicated that the novel strain formed a monophyletic branch at the periphery of the evolutionary radiation occupied by the genus Vogesella; the only sole close neighbour of the novel strain was Vogesella indigofera ATCC 19706^T (97.4 % 16S rRNA gene sequence similarity). The isolate was distinguished from V. indigofera on the basis of genotypic data, several phenotypic properties and an inability to produce characteristic blue-pigmented colonies on peptone agar. The fatty acid profile was slightly different from that reported for V. indigofera ATCC 19706^T. It was evident from the genotypic and phenotypic data that strain DS-28^T represents a novel species of the genus Vogesella, for which the name Vogesella perlucida sp. nov. is proposed. The type strain is DS-28^T (=BCRC 17730^T=LMG 24214^T).

Colonies, cells and genotypic/phenotypic characteristics of strain DS-28^T are compared with those of closely related phylogenetic neighbours in supplementary material available with the online version of this paper.
