A Gram-stain-negative bacterium, designated LG-4T , was isolated from sediment of Qiantang River in Zhejiang Province, PR China. Cells were strictly aerobic, non-spore-forming, non-motile and short-rod-shaped (1.0-1.2 µm long and 0.7-0.8 µm wide). Growth occurred at 15-42 °C (optimum, 30 °C), at pH 5.0-9.0 (pH 7.0) and at 0-2.0 % (w/v) NaCl (optimum, 0.5 % NaCl). Strain LG-4T showed 95.75-96.90 % 16S rRNA gene sequence similarity to various type strains of the genera Tabrizicola , Pseudotabrizicola , Phaeovulum , Rhodobacter and Wagnerdoeblera of the family Paracoccaceae , and the most closely related strain was Tabrizicola soli ZQBWT (96...
