Abstract

A Gram-negative, yellow-pigmented, rod-shaped, strictly aerobic, non-flagellated, oxidase- and catalase-positive, marine bacterium, designated A2, was isolated from a marine sponge, , collected from the coast of Jeju Island, South Korea. Phylogenetic analysis based on nearly complete 16S rRNA gene sequences revealed that strain A2 was a member of the family . Its closest relatives were KMM 3901 and KMM 3553 (96.99 and 96.98 % 16S rRNA gene sequence similarity, respectively). DNA–DNA relatedness between strain A2 and KMM 3901 and KMM 3553 was 14.1 and 26.8 %, respectively. The dominant fatty acids (>5 %) of strain A2 were iso-C (33.9 %), iso-C 3-OH (20.8 %), iso-C G (10.5 %) and iso-C 3-OH (6.1 %). The DNA G+C content of strain A2 was 36.0 mol% and the major respiratory quinone was MK-6. On the basis of phenotypic and phylogenetic analysis, strain A2 represents a novel species of the genus , for which the name sp. nov. is proposed. The type strain is A2 (=KCTC 22662 =DSM 22637).
