RT Journal Article SR Electronic(1) A1 Lee, Soo-Young A1 Oh, Tae-Kwang A1 Yoon, Jung-HoonYR 2010 T1 Thalassobacillus hwangdonensis sp. nov., isolated from a tidal flat sediment JF International Journal of Systematic and Evolutionary Microbiology, VO 60 IS 9 SP 2108 OP 2112 DO https://doi.org/10.1099/ijs.0.016204-0 PB Microbiology Society, SN 1466-5034, AB A Gram-staining-positive, endospore-forming, motile, rod-shaped bacterium, strain AD-1T, was isolated from a tidal flat sediment of the coast of Hwangdo on the Yellow Sea, Korea. Strain AD-1T grew optimally at pH 7.0–7.5 and 40 °C and in the presence of 5–10 % (w/v) NaCl. Phylogenetic analysis based on 16S rRNA gene sequences showed that strain AD-1T was most closely related to Thalassobacillus devorans G-19.1T (98.0 % sequence similarity) and Thalassobacillus cyri HS286T (97.8 %). The cell-wall peptidoglycan was based on meso-diaminopimelic acid and MK-7 was the predominant menaquinone. The major polar lipids were diphosphatidylglycerol, phosphatidylglycerol and two unidentified lipids. The major fatty acids (>10 % of total fatty acids) were iso-C15 : 0, iso-C17 : 0 and anteiso-C15 : 0. The DNA G+C content of strain AD-1T was 45.2 mol%. It appears reasonable to classify strain AD-1T as a member of the genus Thalassobacillus. There were differences in fatty acid profiles and phenotypic and genetic characteristics between strain AD-1T and the type strains of the two Thalassobacillus species. On the basis of the data presented, strain AD-1T represents a novel species within the genus Thalassobacillus, for which the name Thalassobacillus hwangdonensis sp. nov. is proposed. The type strain is AD-1T (=KCTC 13254T =CCUG 56607T)., UL https://www.microbiologyresearch.org/content/journal/ijsem/10.1099/ijs.0.016204-0
