The polyamine pattern contained the major compounds spermidine and cadaverine. The fatty acid profile, comprising the major fatty acids iso-C15 : 0, iso-C17 : 1ω9c, C18 : 1ω7c and iso-C11 : 0 3-OH as the major hydroxylated fatty acid, supported the affiliation of strain CC-LN1-12T to the genus Microbulbifer . DNA–DNA hybridizations between strain CC-LN1-12T and Microbulbifer okinawensis ABABA23T, M. donghaiensis CN85T and M. maritimus JCM 12187T resulted in relatedness values of 21.5 % (14.3 %, reciprocal analysis), 35.9 % (48.5 %, reciprocal analysis) and 48.1 % (52.1 %, reciprocal analysis), respectively. From these data, as well as from physiological and biochemical tests, strain CC-LN1-12T could be clearly differentiated from the most closely related species of the genus Microbulbifer . It is concluded that strain CC-LN1-12T represents a novel species, for which the name Microbulbifer taiwanensis sp. nov. is proposed. The type strain is CC-LN1-12T ( = LMG 26125T = CCM 7856T).", }
