sp. nov., isolated from deep seawater Free

Abstract

A Gram-reaction-negative, non-motile, aerobic bacterium, designated HJ50, was isolated from deep seawater of the East Sea, South Korea. Cells were ovoid to rod-shaped (0.5–0.8×1.3–3.0 μm), often with unequal ends, suggesting a budding mode of reproduction. The strain had an absolute requirement for sea salts and tolerated up to 20 % (w/v) sea salts. Propionate, -lactate, 2-ketogluconate, 3-hydroxybutyrate and rhamnose were used as growth substrates, but not mannitol, salicin, 4-hydroxybenzoate or acetate. The major fatty acid was summed feature 7 (C 7/9/12) and the DNA G+C content was 59.0±0.1 mol%. Phylogenetic analyses based on 16S rRNA gene sequences showed that this strain was affiliated with the genus . Similarities between the 16S rRNA gene sequence of strain HJ50 (1430 nt) and those of type strains of members of the genus were 94.1–96.3 %. DNA–DNA relatedness values between strain HJ50 and the type strains of members of the genus were low (1.3–24.6 %). Physiological and biochemical differences support assignment of strain HJ50 to the genus as a representative of a novel species. The name sp. nov. is proposed, with HJ50 (=KCTC 22224 =LMG 24468) as the type strain.
