A bacterial strain CC-CTC003T was isolated from a synthetic wooden board. Cells of strain CC-CTC003T were Gram-stain-negative, rod-shaped, motile by gliding and formed yellow colonies. Optimal growth occurred at 25 °C, pH 7 and in the presence of 1 % NaCl. The phylogenetic analyses based on 16S rRNA genes revealed that strain CC-CTC003T belonged to the genus Flavobacterium and was most closely related to Flavobacterium cerinum (95.3 % sequence identity), Flavobacterium maris (94.9 % sequence identity), Flavobacterium qiangtangense (94.8 %) and Flavobacterium subsaxonicum (94.7 %) and had less than 94.7 % sequence similarity to other members of the genus. Average nucleotide identity (ANI) values between strain CC-CTC003T and the type strains of other closely related species were 70.1–74.1 %. The digital DNA–DNA hybridization (dDDH) with F. cerinum was 19.4 %. Strain CC-CTC003T contained C15 : 0, iso-C15 : 0, iso-C15 : 0 3-OH, iso-C17 : 0 3-OH, summed feature 3 (C16 : 1 ω6c / C16 : 1 ω7c) and summed feature 9 (C16 : 0 10-methyl / iso-C17 : 1 ω9c) as the predominant fatty acids. The polar lipid profile consisted of phosphatidylethanolamine, four uncharacterized aminophospholipids, two aminolipids and one unidentified glycolipid. The major polyamine was sym-homospermidine and contained MK-6 as major isoprenoid quinone. The DNA G+C content of the genomic DNA was 39.2 mol%. On the basis of the phylogenetic inference and phenotypic data, strain CC-CTC003T should be classified as a novel species, for which the name Flavobacterium supellecticarium sp. nov. is proposed. The type strain is CC-CTC003T (=BCRC 81146T=JCM 32838T).

The ZnO‐based Tamm plasmon‐polariton (TPP) ultraviolet laser is realized with the strong electric field confinement in the active layer. A coupling between TPPs and photons with a Rabi splitting of ≈30 meV is observed at room temperature. Furthermore, the TPP lasing at 373 nm is clearly observed by optical pumping. The corresponding lasing characteristics, such as threshold energy, linewidth, and angular dispersion curve are verified. These results form a basis for better understanding of the TPPs lasing mechanisms.
