Description of gen. nov. sp. nov.

During our previous study, strain NEAU-J3 was classified as representing a novel genus '' within the family . Nevertheless, it is a great pity the name cannot be validated as the proposed genus name is illegitimate (Principle 2 of the ICNP). In this study, we describe as a novel genus within the family and a polyphasic approach was used to provide evidence to support the classification. The G+C content of the genomic DNA of the type strain is 71.6 %. Digital DNA-DNA hybridization and average nucleotide identity (ANI) values could be used to differentiate NEAU-J3 from its related type strains. The phenotypic, genetic and chemotaxonomic data also indicated that NEAU-J3 occupies a branch separated from those of known genera in the family . Therefore, NEAU-J3 represents a novel species of a novel genus in the family , for which the name gen. nov., sp. nov. is proposed. The type strain of is NEAU-J3 (= CGMCC 4.7039 = DSM 45747).
