The isolate was distinguished from Luteimonas mephitis on the basis of several phenotypic properties. The organism utilized glucose, maltose, gentiobiose, melibiose and turanose and only a few organic acids (acetate, propionate) and amino acids ( L -alanyl glycine, glycyl L -aspartic acid and glycyl L -glutamic acid) as substrates. The fatty acid profile was slightly different from that reported for Luteimonas mephitis . It is evident from the genotypic, chemotaxonomic and physiological data presented that strain CC-YY255 T represents a novel species of the genus Luteimonas , for which the name Luteimonas composti sp. nov. is proposed. The type strain is CC-YY255 T (=CCUG 53595 T =CIP 109311 T =BCRC 17598 T ). The GenBank/EMBL/DDBJ accession number for the 16S rRNA gene sequence of strain CC-YY255 T is DQ846687 . Detailed results for strain CC-YY255 T with the Biolog GN2 system are available as supplementary material in IJSEM Online.
