An aerobic, rod-shaped, Gram-positive, oxidase-negative,

catalase-positive bacterial isolate, strain FCC-01(T), originating as

a contaminant of hairspray was characterized using phenotypic and

molecular taxonomic methods. A 16S rRNA gene sequence analysis

revealed that the isolate belonged to the genus Microbacterium and

represented an evolutionary lineage that was distinct from recognized

Microbacterium species. Cell-wall hydrolysate from the isolate

contained ornithine and the cell-wall sugars consisted of rhamnose and

galactose. The main respiratory quinones were MK-12 (38 %) and MK-11

(35 %). The major cellular fatty acids were anteiso-C(15 : 0) (48 %),

anteiso-C(17 : 0) (35 %) and iso-C(16 : 0) (11 %). The DNA G+C content

was 69 mol%. The isolate showed <98 % 16S rRNA gene sequence

similarity with respect to all of the Microbacterium species with

validly published names. On the basis of the morphological,

physiological and chemotaxonomic data and the results of the

comparative 16S rRNA gene sequence analysis, this isolate represents a

novel species of the genus Microbacterium, for which the name

Microbacterium hatanonis sp. nov. is proposed. The type strain is

FCC-01(T) (=JCM 14558(T) =DSM 19179(T)).
