A Gram-positive, non-motile, rod-shaped, non-spore-forming bacterium, designated CAAS 251T, was isolated from paper-mill effluent in Wuhan, China. The organism grew optimally at 40–42 °C and pH 9.0–10.0. major menaquinones were MK-7, MK-8 MK-9. predominant cellular fatty acids anteiso-C15 : 0 (34.78 %), anteiso-C17 (25.24 %) C16 (13.37 %). G+C content of the genomic DNA 65.5 mol%. phylogenetic analysis based on 16S rRNA gene sequences showed that strain 251T belongs to genus Nesterenkonia, having sequence identities ranging 96.0 97.0 % with respect eight recognized species Nesterenkonia. Data DNA–DNA hybridization physiological biochemical tests indicated represents a novel for which name Nesterenkonia flava sp. nov. is proposed. type (=CCTCC AB 207010T=JCM 14814T).
