Abstract

A novel marine bacterium, designated strain 4k5, was isolated from a sediment sample of the Pacific Ocean. The strain was Gram-stain-negative, strictly aerobic, non-motile, oxidase-positive and catalase-positive and required Na for growth. Its major isoprenoid quinone was ubiquinone 8 (Q-8), and its cellular fatty acid profile consisted mainly of Cv9c (71.4 %), Cv7c (9.1 %) and C. The DNA G+C content was 45.3 mol%. 16S rRNA gene sequence analysis suggested that strain 4k5 is a member of the genus . Strain 4k5 exhibited the closely phylogenetic affinity to IFO 16270 (99.4 % 16S rRNA gene sequence similarity), T-3-2 (97.7 %), 88/2-7 (97.7 %), SW-238 (97.7 %), SC35 (97.6 %) and CMS39 (97.6 %). DNA–DNA hybridization between strain 4k5 and NBRC 103191, JCM 15603. DSM 16093, JCM 12601, JCM 16343 and DSM 15337 was 42.5, 47.0, 38.1, 23.7, 9.0 and 27.4 %, respectively. Owing to the significant differences in phenotypic and chemotaxonomic characteristics, phylogenetic analysis based on the 16S rRNA gene sequence and DNA–DNA relatedness data, the isolate merits classification within a novel species, for which the name sp. nov. is proposed. The type strain is 4k5 ( = JCM 30235 = NCIMB 14948).
