sp. nov., isolated from marine sediment Free

Abstract

A Gram-stain-positive, spore-forming, rod-shaped and aerobic bacterium was isolated from a sediment sample from the South Sea in China. The isolate, designated H2, grew at 4–45 °C (optimum 37 °C) and pH 6–10 (optimum pH 7.0). The cell-wall peptidoglycan contained -diaminopimelic acid. The major isoprenoid quinone was MK-7 and the polar lipids consisted of diphosphatidylglycerol, phosphatidylglycerol, phosphatidylethanolamine and an unknown aminophospholipid. The major fatty acid was iso-C. The genomic DNA G+C content of strain H2 was 44.8 mol%. Phylogenetic analysis based on 16S rRNA gene sequences showed that the isolate formed a monophyletic clade with IAM 12464. DNA–DNA relatedness between the isolate and ATCC 14575 was low (27.5 %). Strain H2 also had a phenotypic profile that readily distinguished it from its closest phylogenetic neighbours. It is evident from the combination of genotypic and phenotypic data that the organism should be classified in a novel species of the genus , for which the name sp. nov. is proposed. The type strain is H2 (=CGMCC 1.10115 =JCM 16506).
