sp. nov., isolated from a culture Free

Abstract

Two Gram-staining-negative, rod-shaped and non-motile strains, designated CL-CB221 and CL-CB467, were isolated from a culture derived from tropical surface water of the Pacific Ocean. The 16S rRNA gene sequences of the two strains were identical, and it was found that they belonged to the class , with HAL40b as their closest relative (similarity of 96.3 %). Both strains grew optimally at 30–35 °C and pH 7–8 in the presence of 3–4 % (w/v) NaCl. The major cellular fatty acids were C 7, C 8, C and summed feature 3 (C 7 and/or iso-C 2-OH). The genomic DNA G+C contents were 57.7 and 57.8 mol%, respectively. DNA–DNA hybridization experiments revealed high values (97±2 %) for relatedness between strains CL-CB221 and CL-CB467, which suggested that these two strains belong to a single species. Based on the phylogenetic, chemotaxonomic and phenotypic data presented, it is proposed that strains CL-CB221 and CL-CB467 represent a novel species of the genus , for which the name sp. nov. is proposed. The type strain is CL-CB221 (=KCCM 90065 =DSM 19543).
