A yellow-colored bacterium, T41T, was isolated from a soil sample of Tropical Rainforest in Nepal. The strain was found to comprise Gram-positive, aerobic, non-motile, short rods. Phylogenetic analysis based on 16S rRNA gene sequences indicated that the strain formed a cluster with Terrimonas ferruginea, Terrimonas lutea, Niabella soli, Flavisolibacter ginsengiterrae, Flavisolibacter ginsengisoli, Niastella yeongjuensis, Niastella koreensis in the phylum Bacteroidetes. The strain showed the highest sequence similarity to Terrimonas lutea (93.2 %). The major isoprenoid quinone was MK-7 and the predominant cellular fatty acids (10%) were 15:0 iso (33.8%), 15:1 iso G (13.3%), 17:0 iso 3-OH (12.9%). The DNA G+C content was 48.1 mol%. On the basis of phenotypic and phylogenetic data and genomic distinctiveness, strain T41T represents a novel species in a novel genus in the phylum Bacteroidetes, for which the name Flavihumibacter petaseus gen. nov., sp. nov is proposed. The type strain is strain T41T (=CGMCC 1.7723T =NBRC 106054).
