Abstract: 
A pale pink pigmented, Gram-stain-negative, rod-shaped, non-spore forming bacterial strain, PP-F2F-G47T, was isolated from the phyllosphere of the herbaceous plant Galium album. Phylogenetic analysis based on nearly full-length 16S rRNA gene sequence showed highest sequence similarity to type strains of the species Mucilaginibacter daejeonensis (96.2 %), Mucilaginibacter dorajii (95.7 %), and Mucilaginibacter phyllosphaerae (95.5 %). 16S rRNA gene-sequence similarities to all other type strains were below 95.5 %. The predominant cellular fatty acids of the strain are C16:1 ω7c/iso-C15:0 2-OH (measured as summed feature 3 fatty acids) and iso-C15:0. Major compound in the polyamine pattern was sym-homospermidine and major quinone was menaquinone MK-7. The polar lipid profile was composed of phosphatidylethanolamine and several unidentified aminolipipids, phospholipids, aminophospholipids and lipids without a functional group. A sphingophospholipid could not be detected but a ninhydrin-positive alkaline-stable lipid was visible. The diagnostic diamino acid of the peptidoglycan was meso-diaminopimelic acid.Based on phylogenetic, chemotaxonomic, and phenotypic analyses we propose a novel species, Mucilaginibacter galii sp. nov. with the type strain PP-F2F-G47T (= CCM 8711T = CIP 111182T = LMG 29767T).
