Abstract

A Gram-stain-negative, aerobic, heterotrophic and salt-tolerant bacterium, designated strain LL-001, was isolated from a deep subseafloor sediment in Japanese waters. Cells were non-motile rods and colonies were smooth, convex, circular and vermilion. The conditions for growth were 15–35 °C, pH 5.5–7.5 and 1–8 % (w/v) NaCl. Phylogenetic analysis based on 16S rRNA gene sequences confirmed that strain LL-001 belonged to the genus within the family of the class . 16S rRNA gene sequence similarity between strain LL-001 and members of the genus was 94.5–98.5 %; the highest sequence similarity was with UST950701-009P. DNA–DNA relatedness between strain LL-001 and UST950701-009P was 41.5–43.6 %. The DNA G+C content of strain LL-001 was 69.3 mol%. On the basis of biochemical features and 16S rRNA gene sequence comparison, strain LL-001 is considered to represent a novel species of the genus , for which the name sp. nov. is proposed. The type strain is LL-001 ( = JCM 18161 = CECT 8072). The description of the genus is also emended.
