Abstract
A novel Gram-staining-negative, aerobic, rod-shaped, non-motile, yellow bacterium designated strain KD53T, was isolated from a culture of the alga Phaeodactylum tricornutum from Xiamen, Fujian Province, China. 16S rRNA gene sequence comparison showed that strain KD53T was a member of the Roseobacter clade within the family Rhodobacteraceae , forming a distinct lineage with species of the genus Mameliella . The 16S rRNA gene sequence similarities between strain KD53T and other strains examined were all less than 97.0 %. Strain KD53T was found to grow optimally at 28 °C, at pH 7.5–8.0 and in the presence of 3 % (w/v) NaCl. The dominant fatty acids of strain KD53T were C18 : 1ω6c and/or C18 : 1ω7c, C18 : 0 and C16 : 0. The major polar lipids were phosphatidylcholine, phosphatidylethanolamine and phosphatidylglycerol. The DNA G+C content was 65 mol% and the major respiratory quinone was ubiquinone 10 (Q-10). On the basis of phenotypic data and phylogenetic inference, strain KD53T represents a novel member of the genus Mameliella , then the name Mameliella phaeodactyli sp. nov. is proposed. The type strain is KD53T ( = MCCC 1K00273T = KCTC 42178T).
