RT Journal Article SR Electronic(1) A1 Lee, Soon DongYR 2007 T1 Devosia subaequoris sp. nov., isolated from beach sediment JF International Journal of Systematic and Evolutionary Microbiology, VO 57 IS 10 SP 2212 OP 2215 DO https://doi.org/10.1099/ijs.0.65185-0 PB Microbiology Society, SN 1466-5034, AB A novel marine bacterium was isolated from a sediment sample from Hwasun Beach in Jeju, Republic of Korea. The cells were found to be Gram-negative, aerobic, oxidase-positive, catalase-positive, motile rods. The organism required natural seawater or artificial sea salts for growth. The temperature and pH ranges for growth were 20–42 °C and pH 5.1–12.1, respectively. Phylogenetic analyses based on 16S rRNA gene sequences showed that the organism belonged to the order Rhizobiales and formed a robust cluster with members of the genus Devosia. Its phylogenetic neighbours were the type strains of Devosia riboflavina (96.8 % 16S rRNA gene sequence similarity), Devosia neptuniae (96.7 %), Devosia soli (96.5 %) and Devosia limi (96.2 %), ‘Devosia terrae’ DCY11 (96.2 %) and ‘Candidatus Devosia euplotis’ (96.2 %). The predominant ubiquinone was Q-10, the major fatty acids were C18 : 1, C18 : 0 and C16 : 0 and the G+C content of the DNA was 59.1 mol%. On the basis of phenotypic data and the results of phylogenetic analyses, strain HST3-14T represents a novel species of the genus Devosia, for which the name Devosia subaequoris sp. nov. is proposed. The type strain is strain HST3-14T (=KCTC 12772T =JCM 14206T)., UL https://www.microbiologyresearch.org/content/journal/ijsem/10.1099/ijs.0.65185-0
