Abstract

Strain G18, a Gram-stain-negative, aerobic, rod-shaped, motile, non-fermentative, yellow-pigmented bacterium, was isolated from Red Sea sediment. Phylogenetic analyses based on 16S rRNA gene sequences revealed that strain G18 was most closely related to PG2S01 with 95.3 % similarity. Growth of strain G18 occurred at 10–42 °C (optimum 28–37 °C), pH 5.0–9.0 (optimum pH 6.0–8.0) and in the presence of 0.5–10 % NaCl (optimum 2–5 %). The major fatty acids of strain G18 were iso-C, summed feature 3 (Cω7 and/or Cω6), iso-C G and iso-C 3-OH. The major polar lipids were phosphatidylethanolamine, unidentified aminolipids, phospholipids and other lipids. The predominant quinone was menaquinone 6 (MK-6). The G+C content of the genomic DNA from strain G18 was 39.0 mol%. Based on the phylogenetic and phenotypic properties, strain G18 represents a novel species of the genus , for which the name sp. nov. is proposed. The type strain is G18 ( = CGMCC 1.14954 = JCM 30614).
