Abstract

A Gram-negative, aerobic, rod-shaped bacterium, designated strain CL-33, was isolated from the encrusting pore coral collected from seawater off the coast of southern Taiwan. 16S rRNA gene sequence analysis showed that the strain clustered closely with MKT110 (96.7 % similarity). The novel strain required NaCl for growth and exhibited optimal growth at 25 °C and in the presence of 2–3 % NaCl. Predominant cellular fatty acids were summed feature 3 (C 7 and/or C 6; 39.6 %), summed feature 8 (C 7 and/or C 6; 32.8 %) and C (12.0 %). The DNA G+C content of strain CL-33 was 50.0 mol%. The results of physiological and biochemical tests allowed the clear phenotypic differentiation of this isolate from . It is evident from the genotypic, phenotypic and chemotaxonomic data presented that strain CL-33 represents a novel species of the genus , for which the name sp. nov. is proposed. The type strain is CL-33 (=LMG 24815 =BCRC 17933).
