Abstract

A Gram-staining-negative, strictly aerobic, yellowish-orange, flexirubin-positive, rod-shaped, non-flagellated, non-spore-forming and non-gliding marine bacterium, designated strain CC-PY-50, was isolated from estuarine water off Pingtung, Taiwan. The strain produced zeaxanthin as a major carotenoid pigment, and showed highest pairwise 16S rRNA gene sequence similarity to T-y7 (93.9 %) followed by KMM 6217 (93.8 %), YCS-16 (93.7 %) and other members of the family (<93.7 %). Strain CC-PY-50 established a distinct phyletic lineage associated with LYYY01 (93.1 % sequence similarity) with poor bootstrap support during neighbour-joining and maximum-likelihood phylogenetic analyses (37 % for each). The polar lipid profile of strain CC-PY-50 was determined to accommodate large numbers of unknown lipids including major amounts of three unidentified aminolipids and two unidentified lipids, and moderate amounts of an unidentified phospholipid, an unidentified glycolipid and an unidentified lipid. In addition, phosphatidylethanolamine was also detected in significant amounts. The major (>5 % of total) fatty acids were iso-C, iso-C G, iso-C 3-OH, C and Cω6 and/or Cω7. The DNA G+C content was 37.1 mol% and menaquinone-6 (MK-6) was the sole respiratory quinone. Based on the phylogenetic evidence and several distinguishing phenotypic and chemotaxonomic features, strain CC-PY-50 is proposed to represent a novel genus and species of the family , for which the name gen. nov., sp. nov. is proposed. The type strain of the type species gen. nov., sp. nov. is CC-PY-50 ( = JCM 19743 = BCRC 80747). Emended descriptions of the species and are also proposed.
