9c (11.7 %) and summed feature 4 (iso-15 : 0 2-OH and/or 16 : 1
7c/t, 11.0 %). Menaquinone MK-6 was detected as the sole respiratory quinone. The G+C content of the genomic DNA was 37.8 mol%. On the basis of the genomic and phenotypic evidence, this isolate represents a novel species of the genus Chryseobacterium, for which the name Chryseobacterium wanjuense sp. nov. is proposed. The type strain is R2A10-2T (=KACC 11468T=DSM 17724T).

9c and iso-17 : 0 3-OH fatty acids.
Strain R2A10-2T was isolated from greenhouse soil cultivated with lettuce (Lactuca sativa L.) in the Wanju region of Korea. A diluted soil sample was spread on R2A medium (Difco) at 28 °C. Colonial properties were observed after 48 h incubation on R2A medium. Phenotypic tests such as Gram staining, catalase and oxidase activities, indole production and hydrolysis of agar, casein, DNA, gelatin and starch were performed according to the methods of Gerhardt et al. (1994)
. The presence of flexirubin-type pigments was determined by flooding the cell mass (taken from agar plates) with 20 % (w/v) KOH (Bernardet et al., 2002
). Hydrolysis of carboxymethylcellulose (Sigma) (0.1 %), alginic acid (0.5 %, w/v), chitin from crab shells (1 %, w/v), pectin (0.5 %, w/v) and tyrosine (0.5 %, w/v) was tested according to the procedures of Gerhardt et al. (1994)
. Temperature and salinity tolerances were assessed at 5, 10, 15, 20, 25, 30, 33, 35, 37 and 40 °C and NaCl concentrations of 0, 1, 2, 3, 5 and 7 % (w/v) in R2A agar and broth, respectively. R2A broth adjusted to initial pH values of 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9 and 10 with citrate/phosphate buffer or Tris/HCl buffer (Breznak & Costilow, 1994
) was used to assess the ability of strains to grow at different pH values. Enzyme activities were determined by using the API ZYM system (bioMérieux). Additional physiological and biochemical tests were performed with the API 20NE, API 50 CH and API ID 32 GN systems (bioMérieux).
The 16S rRNA gene was amplified by using a PCR with two universal primers, as described by Kwon et al. (2003)
. Sequencing of the amplified 16S rRNA gene and phylogenetic analysis were performed as described by Kwon et al. (2003)
. Neighbour-joining and maximum-parsimony methods were carried out using MEGA, version 2.1 (Kumar et al., 2001
). The resulting trees and topology were evaluated by bootstrap analyses (Felsenstein, 1985
) based on 1000 resamplings.
Isoprenoid quinones were extracted and analysed as described by Groth et al. (1996)
. DNADNA hybridization was carried out as described by Seldin & Dubnau (1985)
. Probe labelling was conducted by using the non-radioactive DIG High Prime system (Roche); hybridized DNA was visualized using the DIG luminescent detection kit (Roche). DNADNA relatedness was quantified by using a densitometer (Bio-Rad). For fatty acid methyl ester analysis, cell mass was harvested from trypticase soy agar (Difco) after cultivation for 24 h at 28 °C. The fatty acid methyl esters were extracted and prepared according to the standard protocol of the MIDI/Hewlett Packard Microbial Identification System (Sasser, 1990
). The G+C content of the DNA was determined according to Mesbah et al. (1989)
, using a reverse-phase column.
Comparison of the almost complete 16S rRNA gene sequence (1462 nt) of strain R2A10-2T with sequences deposited in the public databases showed the organism to be a member of the genus Chryseobacterium. The isolate shared sequence similarities of 97.7 and 96.9 % with Chryseobacterium daecheongense DSM 15235T and Chryseobacterium defluvii DSM 14219T, respectively. The organism also showed a high level of 16S rRNA gene sequence similarity (97.1 %) with Chryseobacterium formosense KCTC 12435T. The type strains of all other Chryseobacterium species showed sequence similarities of less than 96 % with respect to strain R2A10-2T. On the basis of neighbour-joining and maximum-parsimony analyses, strain R2A10-2T forms a clade with C. daecheongense DSM 15235T and C. defluvii DSM 14219T. The intraclade branching, as well as the branching point with a sister clade, was supported by high bootstrap values (see Fig. 1
for the neighbour-joining analysis). Because of the relatively high 16S rRNA gene sequence similarity values, DNADNA hybridization was carried out between the novel isolate and C. daecheongense DSM 15235T, C. defluvii DSM 14219T and C. formosense KCTC 12435T. Low levels of DNADNA relatedness were found between strain R2A10-2T and DSM 15235T (28 %), DSM 14219T (38 %) and KCTC 12435T (16 %), supporting the presence of a novel genospecies.

Description of Chryseobacterium wanjuense sp. nov.
Chryseobacterium wanjuense (wan.ju.en'se. N.L. neut. adj. wanjuense pertaining to Wanju, a province in Korea).
Cells are Gram-negative rods (0.70.8x2.03.5 µm). Yellow colonies with entire edges are formed on R2A agar plates. Grows at 537 °C (optimum 28 °C), with 02 % NaCl (optimum 01 % NaCl) and at pH 59 (optimum pH 7). Growth occurs on R2A, trypticase soy agar and nutrient agar (Difco), but weak growth is observed on MacConkey agar. Degrades casein, gelatin, starch and tyrosine, and weakly degrades DNA. Urea, chitin and carboxymethylcellulose are not degraded. Utilizes malonate. The type strain shows positive reactions for aesculin and gelatin hydrolysis and for
-galactosidase activity, but shows negative reactions for nitrate reduction, indole production, glucose fermentation and for arginine dihydrolase and urease activities (API 20NE). Assimilates D-glucose, D-mannose, D-maltose, sodium acetate, glycogen and L-proline (API 20NE and API ID 32 GN). Does not assimilate L-arabinose, D-mannitol, N-acetylglucosamine, potassium gluconate, capric acid, adipic acid, malic acid, trisodium citrate, phenylacetic acid, L-rhamnose, D-ribose, inositol, D-sucrose, itaconic acid, suberic acid, sodium malonate, lactic acid, L-alanine, potassium 5-ketogluconate, 3-hydroxybenzoic acid, L-serine, salicin, D-melibiose, L-fucose, D-sorbitol, propionic acid, valeric acid, L-histidine, potassium 2-ketogluconate, 3-hydroxybutyric acid or 4-hydroxybenzoic acid (API 20NE and API ID 32 GN). Activity is observed for alkaline phosphatase, esterase lipase (C8), leucine arylamidase, valine arylamidase, acid phosphatase, naphthol-AS-BI-phosphohydrolase and N-acetyl-
-glucosaminidase, weak activity is observed for esterase (C4), cystine arylamidase,
-chymotrypsin and
-glucosidase and no activity is observed for lipase (C14), trypsin,
-galactosidase,
-galactosidase,
-glucuronidase,
-glucosidase,
-mannosidase and
-fucosidase (API ZYM). Acids are produced only from D-glucose, D-mannose, D-trehalose and gentiobiose (API 50 CH). The predominant cellular fatty acids are iso-15 : 0, iso-17 : 0 3-OH, iso-17 : 1
9c and summed feature 4. Menaquinone MK-6 is the sole respiratory quinone. The G+C content of the genomic DNA of the type strain is 37.8 mol%. The closest phylogenetic relative is C. daecheongense.
