A Gram-negative, oxidase- and catalase-positive bacterium, designated strain EM 4(T), which varied in shape from rod-shaped to curved or helical with frequently observed bulb-shaped protuberances, was isolated from purified water. 16S rRNA gene sequence analysis indicated that the novel strain belongs to the family Chitinophagaceae within the phylum Bacteroidetes; the closest relative among bacterial species with validly published names was determined to be Sediminibacterium salmoneum NBRC 103935(T), with 93.4% sequence identity. The main fatty acids of strain EM 4(T) were iso-C-15:0, iso-C-15:1 and iso-C-17:0 3-OH. The polar lipid profile consisted of phosphatidylethanolamine, aminolipids, aminophospholipids and unknown lipids; the quinone system consisted of menaquinone MK-7. 16S rRNA gene sequence analysis and the polar lipid and fatty acid profiles suggest that the strain represents a novel genus and species, for which the name Hydrobacter penzbergensis gen. nov., sp. nov. is proposed. The type strain of Hydrobacter penzbergensis is strain EM 4(T) (=DSM 25353(T)=CCUG 62278(T)).
