Abstract

A Gram-negative, motile, rod-shaped bacterial strain, designated S3-22, was isolated from a sediment sample collected from a ballast water tank of a commercial ship and subjected to a polyphasic taxonomic characterization. The isolate formed small, light-yellow, semi-translucent and circular colonies on solid complex media. The strain was oxidase- and catalase-positive and metabolized a large number of carbon sources. Chemotaxonomic analysis showed ubiquinone Q-10 as predominant respiratory quinone, phosphatidylglycerol and an unidentified glycolipid as major polar lipids and iso-C 9, iso-C, C 7 and/or iso-C 2-OH, C, iso-C and C 7 as major fatty acids and the hydroxy fatty acids iso-C 3-OH and C 3-OH. The genomic DNA G+C content was 54.9 mol%. 16S rRNA gene sequence analysis revealed that the isolate has 96.1 % similarity to the type strain of , the sole described species within the order , and less than 91.0 % similarity to other recognized species. On the basis of phenotypic and genotypic data, strain S3-22 represents a novel species of the genus , for which the name sp. nov. is proposed, with the type strain S3-22 (=CGMCC 1.9109 =JCM 16261). An emended description of the genus is also presented.
