Abstract

A novel, Gram-staining-negative, yellow-coloured, rod-shaped, obligately aerobic, non-motile bacterium, designated strain AK7, was isolated from seawater collected on the coast at Visakhapatnam, Andhra Pradesh, India. The predominant fatty acids of the novel strain were iso-C, iso-C 3-OH, Cω5, iso-C 3-OH and summed features 3 (Cω7 and/or iso-C 2-OH) and 4 (iso-C I and/or anteiso-C B). The major respiratory quinone was MK-7 and the polar lipid profile comprised phosphatidylethanolamine, two unidentified aminolipids and four other unidentified lipids. In phylogenetic analysis based on 16S rRNA gene sequences, strain AK7 appeared most closely related to KMM 6220 (95.9 % sequence similarity), a member of the family in the phylum . The genomic DNA G+C content of strain AK7 was 55.1 mol%. Based on the morphological, biochemical, physiological, chemotaxonomic and phylogenetic evidence, strain AK7 represents a novel species of the genus for which the name sp. nov. is proposed. The type strain is AK7 ( = MTCC 11053  = JCM 17390).
