A Gram-negative, strictly aerobic, motile, filamentous and viscous exopolymer-producing bacterium, designated strain YT21T, was isolated from fresh water. Phylogenetic analysis of the 16S rRNA gene sequence indicated that strain YT21T lies within a cluster containing the established genera Segetibacter, Terrimonas, Niastella and Chitinophaga in the phylum Bacteroidetes. However, the isolate represented a lineage distinct from these genera, with sequence similarities ranging from 88.9 to 91.8 %. The genomic G+C content was 45.2 mol%. The predominant isoprenoid quinone was MK-7. The major fatty acids were 15 : 0 iso, 17 : 0 iso 3-OH and 15 : 1 iso G. On the basis of morphological features and phenotypic and phylogenetic data, strain YT21T represents a novel genus and species, for which the name Filimonas lacunae gen. nov., sp. nov. is proposed. The type strain of Filimonas lacunae is strain YT21T (=NBRC 104114T =DSM 21054T).

The GenBank/EMBL/DDBJ accession number for the 16S rRNA gene sequence of strain YT21T is AB362776.

Micrographs showing cultural and morphological characteristics of strain YT21T are available as supplementary material with the online version of this paper.
