The organism formed a distinct phyletic line in the Chromobacterium 16S rRNA gene tree andhad chemotaxonomic and morphological properties consistent with its classification in this genus. It was found to be closely related to Chromobacteriumvaccinii DSM 25150T (98.6 % 16S rRNA gene similarity) and shared 98.5 % 16S rRNA gene similarity with Chromobacterium piscinae LGM 3947T. DNA?DNA relatedness studies showed that isolate CBMAI 310T belongs to distinct genomicspecies. The isolate was readily distinguished from the type strain of these species using a combination of phenotypic and chemotaxonomic properties. Thus, based on genotypic and phenotypic data, it is proposed that isolate CBMAI 310T (=DSM 26508T) be classified in the genus Chromobacterium as the type strain of a novel species, namely, Chromobacterium amazonense sp. nov.  aChromobacterium  aBactéria  aAmazonas state  aChromobacterium amazonense  aPolyphasic toxonomy  aRainforest1 aTONIN, M.
