A1 Mikhailov, Valery V.YR 2007 T1 Fulvivirga kasyanovii gen. nov., sp. nov., a novel member of the phylum Bacteroidetes isolated from seawater in a mussel farm JF International Journal of Systematic and Evolutionary Microbiology, VO 57 IS 5 SP 1046 OP 1049 DO https://doi.org/10.1099/ijs.0.64641-0 PB Microbiology Society, SN 1466-5034, AB A novel, strictly aerobic, heterotrophic, gliding, Gram-negative, oxidase-, catalase-, β-galactosidase- and alkaline phosphatase-positive marine bacterium, designated strain KMM 6220T, was isolated from seawater and studied by using a polyphasic taxonomic approach. The DNA G+C content of strain KMM 6220T was 59.9 mol%. The predominant fatty acids were iso-C15 : 1, iso-C15 : 0, iso-C15 : 0 3-OH, iso-C17 : 0 3-OH and C16 : 1 ω7/iso-C15 : 0 2-OH. Phylogenetic analysis based on 16S rRNA gene sequencing revealed that strain KMM 6220T formed a cluster with the misclassified strains [Flexibacter] aggregans NBRC 15974 and [Flexibacter] tractuosus NBRC 16035 and with the type strains of Reichenbachiella agariperforans and Roseivirga ehrenbergii with levels of similarity of 95.9, 94.4, 92.0 and 91.8 %, respectively. On the basis of its phenotypic, chemotaxonomic, genotypic and phylogenetic characteristics, strain KMM 6220T is considered to represent a novel species of a new genus in the phylum Bacteroidetes, for which the name Fulvivirga kasyanovii gen. nov., sp. nov. is proposed. The type strain of the type species is KMM 6220T (=CCTCC AB 206119T=KCTC 12832T)., UL https://www.microbiologyresearch.org/content/journal/ijsem/10.1099/ijs.0.64641-0
