Abstract

Six strains of Gram-negative, rod-shaped, non-spore-forming bacteria were isolated from the Mediterranean Sea. 16S rRNA gene sequence analysis indicated that the strains were affiliated within the alphaproteobacterial genus , with (99·4 %) and (99·2 %) as their closest relatives. This affiliation was supported by chemotaxonomic data (major polar lipids: phosphatidyl diacylglycerol, sulfoquinovosyl diacylglycerol and phosphatidyl glucopyranosyl diacylglycerol; major fatty acids: C, C, C, C, C 8, 11-Me-C 5). The results of DNA–DNA hybridization and physiological and biochemical tests allowed genotypic and phenotypic differentiation of the strains from all recognized species. The strains therefore represent a novel species, for which the name sp. nov. is proposed, with the type strain V4.BO.10 (=LMG 21911=CIP 107934).
