gen. nov., sp. nov., a novel marine bacterium of the phylum ‘’, isolated from the green alga Free

Abstract

The taxonomic position of a novel marine bacterium isolated from the green alga collected in the Sea of Japan was established. Cells of the strain studied, designated KMM 6017, were strictly aerobic, heterotrophic, pink-pigmented, non-motile by gliding, Gram-negative and oxidase-, catalase-, -galactosidase- and alkaline phosphatase-positive. 16S rRNA gene sequence analysis indicated that the strain occupied a distinct lineage within the phylum ‘’ and formed a cluster with [] and . The G+C content of the DNA of KMM 6017 was 40·2 mol%. The major respiratory quinone was MK-7. The predominant fatty acids were i15 : 1, i15 : 0 and i17 : 0 3-OH (34·2, 24 and 7·7 %, respectively). On the basis of phenotypic, chemotaxonomic, genotypic and phylogenetic characteristics, the novel bacterium was assigned to the genus gen. nov., as gen. nov., sp. nov. The type strain is KMM 6017 (=KCTC 12282=LMG 22567).
