Abstract

A novel halophilic bacterium of the genus was isolated from a marine sponge collected from the Florida Keys, USA. Strain A79, an aerobic, Gram-negative, non-motile, rod-shaped bacterium, grew in 2–15 % (w/v) NaCl, at a temperature of 10–49 °C and at pH 4.5–10. Phylogenetic analysis placed strain A79 in the family in the class . Strain A79 showed 98.5 % 16S rRNA gene sequence similarity to KMM 3899, 96.6 % similarity to DSM 16069 and 95.6 % similarity to DSM 16071. The major cellular fatty acids were iso-C, iso-C 3-OH, iso-C, iso-C and iso-Cω9 and the G+C content of the genomic DNA was 44.9 mol%. On the basis of physiological, chemotaxonomic and phylogenetic comparisons, strain A79 represents a novel species in the genus , for which the name sp. nov. is proposed. The type strain is A79 ( = ATCC BAA-2076 = DSM 23219).
