The polar lipid profiles of strain THG-SQA8 and S. multivorum KACC 14105 are shown in Fig. S3. A dark spot, which shows similar retention for both THG-SQA8
and S. multivorum KACC 14105

, was sphingophospholipid. The presence of sphingophospholipid among the cellular
lipid components is a typical characteristic of the genus Sphingobacterium(Yabuuchi
et al., 1983). In addition, phosphatidylethanolamine,
three unidentified aminophospholipids and
seven unidentified lipids were detected on THG-SQA8
