sp. nov. isolated from a culture of sp., a dinoflagellate symbiont of the sea anemone Free

Abstract

A Gram-stain-negative, facultatively anaerobic, oxidase- and catalase-positive, rod-shaped bacterium, strain SYM1, was isolated from a culture of sp., an algal symbiont of the sea anemone collected in Puerto Rico. Growth was observed at 4–40 °C (optimum 30 °C), at pH 5.0–11.0 (optimum pH 8.0) and with 0.5–8 % (optimum 2 %) (w/v) NaCl. Phylogenetic analyses of 16S rRNA gene sequences showed that strain SYM1 was a member of the genus with the type strain of as the closest phylogenetic relative with a pairwise sequence similarity of 98.15 %. However, DNA–DNA relatedness between strain SYM1 and CIP 106451 was 24 %. Moreover, strain SYM1 could be distinguished from its closest relative by several phenotypic characteristics such as NaCl, pH and temperature tolerance, nitrate reduction and utilization of carbon substrates. The major cellular fatty acids were C, Cω7 and summed feature 3 (comprising Cω7 and/or iso-C 2-OH). The genomic DNA G+C content of strain SYM1 was 45 mol%. Ubiquinone-8 (Q-8) was the only respiratory quinone detected. Based on a polyphasic taxonomic characterization, strain SYM1 represents a novel species of the genus , for which the name sp. nov. is proposed. The type strain is SYM1 ( = LMG 28329 = CECT 8716).
