A Gram-stain positive, aerobic, motile, rod-shaped bacterium designated as strain CBP-2801ᵀ was isolated as a contaminant from a culture containing maize callus in Peoria, Illinois, United States. The strain is unique relative to other Cohnella species due to its slow growth and reduced number of sole carbon sources. Phylogenetic analysis using 16S rRNA indicated that strain CBP-2801ᵀ is a Cohnella bacterium and showed the highest similarity to Cohnella xylanilytica (96.8%). Genome-based phylogeny and genomic comparisons based on average nucleotide identity confirmed the strain to be a novel species of Cohnella. Growth occurs at 15–45 °C (optimum 40 °C), pH 5–7 (optimum pH 6) and with 0–1% NaCl. The predominant fatty acids are anteiso-15:0 and 18:1 ω6c. Genome mining for secondary metabolites identified a putative biosynthetic cluster that encodes for a novel lasso peptide. In addition, this study contributes five new genome assemblies of type strains of Cohnella species, a genus with less than 30% of the type strains sequenced. The DNA G + C content is 58.7 mol %. Based on the phenotypic, phylogenetic and biochemical data strain CBP-2801ᵀ represents a novel species, for which the name Cohnella zeiphila sp. nov. is proposed. The type strain is CBP-2801ᵀ (= DSM 111598 = ATCC TSD-230).
