Isolates AH11ᵀ and AH13ᵀ were isolated from flowers of lantana and candle bush respectively collected in Thailand. In phylogenetic trees based on 16S rRNA gene sequences, the two isolates formed an independent cluster, which was then connected to the type strain of Saccharibacter floricola. The calculated pair-wise 16S rRNA gene sequence similarities of isolate AH11ᵀ were 95.7–92.3% to the type strains of the type species of the 12 genera of acetic acid bacteria. The DNA base composition was from 51.2 to 56.8 mol % G+C, with a range of 5.6 mol %. When isolate AH11ᵀ was labeled, DNA-DNA similarities were 100, 12, 4, 5, and 4% respectively to isolates AH11ᵀ and AH13ᵀ and the type strains of Saccharibacter floricola, Gluconobacter oxydans, and Acetobacter aceti. The two isolates were non-motile and did not oxidize either acetate or lactate. No growth was found in the presence of 0.35% acetic acid w/v. The two isolates were not osmophilic but osmotolerant, produced 2,5-diketo-D-gluconate from D-glucose, and did not oxidize lactate, thus differing from strains of Saccharibacter floricola, which showed weak lactate oxidation. The two isolates contained unsaturated C₁₈:₁ω7c fatty acid as the major fatty acid, and were unique in the presence of a considerable amount of straight-chain C₁₈:₁2OH fatty acid. Q-10 was present as the major isoprenoid quinone. Neokomagataea gen. nov. was proposed with the two species, Neokomagataea thailandica sp. nov. for isolate AH11ᵀ (=BCC 25710ᵀ=NBRC 106555ᵀ), which has 56.8 mol % G+C, and Neokomagataea tanensis sp. nov. for isolate AH13ᵀ (=BCC 25711ᵀ=NBRC 106556ᵀ), which has 51.2 mol % G+C.
