sp. nov., isolated from sediment adjacent to sperm whale carcasses Free

Abstract

A Gram-negative, rod-shaped, non-spore-forming, strictly aerobic strain with gliding motility, designated JAMB N27, was isolated from sediment adjacent to sperm whale carcasses off Kagoshima, Japan, at a depth of 219 m. Strain JAMB N27 contained MK-6 as the major isoprenoid quinone and iso-C, iso-C, C and iso-C as the predominant fatty acids. Casein, chitin, gelatin and starch were degraded. Phylogenetic analysis based on 16S rRNA gene sequences showed that strain JAMB N27 represented a separate lineage within the genus . The DNA G+C content of strain JAMB N27 was 33.1 mol%. DNA–DNA relatedness values between strain JAMB N27 and type strains of species of the genus were significantly lower than the cut-off value accepted for the definition of a novel species. Therefore, strain JAMB N27 represents a novel species, for which the name sp. nov. is proposed. The type strain is JAMB N27 (=JCM 15542=NCIMB 14508).
