Abstract

Three Gram-negative, non-motile, strictly aerobic strains, designated LNM-20, LCM-1 and LAM-13, were isolated from thalli of the marine red alga . Phylogenetic analysis based on 16S rRNA gene sequences revealed that the isolates were associated with the genus in the family and were most closely related to DSW-5 (96.2 % 16S rRNA gene sequence similarity) and K17-16 (95.0 %). The DNA G+C content of the isolates was 28.6–29.2 mol%. DNA–DNA hybridization analysis showed that the isolates belonged to a single species distinct from both of their closest relatives. The only isoprenoid quinone detected was menaquinone-6. The main polar lipids were phosphatidylethanolamine, two unidentified aminolipids and two unidentified lipids. The major fatty acids were iso-C, iso-Cω10 and iso-C 3-OH. The phenotypic features of strain LNM-20 differed from those of their closest relatives in several regards (colony colour, growth with 1 % NaCl and on TSA plus 2.5 % NaCl, hydrolysis of Tweens 40 and 80, and oxidization of five carbon compounds). On the basis of phylogenetic, chemotaxonomic and phenotypic analysis, the isolates represent a novel species in the genus , for which the name sp. nov. is proposed. The type strain is LNM-20 ( = LMG 26671  = NBRC 108759). Emended descriptions of the genus and and are also proposed.
