Two strains of aerobic acidophilic chemoorganotrophic bacteria designed strains AP8(T) and AP9 were isolated from acid mine drainage and acidic soil, respectively. These isolates were gram-negative, nonmotile cocci and coccobacilli measuring 0.5-0.8  m in diameter. Cells were capsulated. Colonies on solid media were pink colored. The pH range for growth was 3.0-6.0 (optimum pH 4.5). Sugars, @entity12742 , and some @entity1522 were good @entity505 and energy sources for growth. The main components of cellular @entity1718 were C(15:0) iso and C(16:1)   7c. @entity72728 was the major @entity3276 . The G+C content of genomic DNA was 59.5%. Both strains had identical sequences of 16S rRNA genes that were most closely related to that of the type strain of @entity72729 (96% similarity). There were major differences between the isolates and A. capsulatum in cell morphology, @entity505 nutrition, and @entity844 profiles. Based on these phylogenetic and phenotypic data, we propose the name @entity17393 gen. nov., sp. nov. to accommodate the novel isolates. The type strain is AP8(T) (NBRC 107607(T), KCTC 23427(T)).
