Abstract

A marine bacterial strain, FR1064, was isolated from a surface seawater sample collected off Jeju Island, South Korea. Phylogenetic analysis based on 16S rRNA gene sequences indicated that the isolate belonged to the and was related to the genus with 97.6 % sequence similarity to , its nearest phylogenetic neighbour. DNA–DNA relatedness between strain FR1064 and ACAM 615 was 55 %. Cells of the novel isolate were Gram-negative, aerobic, rod-shaped, motile and halophilic, with an optimum sea salts concentration of 4–7 %. The major fatty acids were straight-chain saturated (C), summed feature 3 and monounsaturated fatty acid C. The DNA G+C content was 44 mol%. Several phenotypic characteristics differentiated the novel isolate from all previously described members of the genus . The polyphasic data obtained in this study clearly demonstrate that strain FR1064 represents a novel species of the genus . The name sp. nov. is therefore proposed, with strain FR1064 (=KCTC 12276=JCM 12485) as the type strain.
