gen. nov., sp. nov., a member of the family isolated from coastal seawater Free

Abstract

A Gram-negative, facultatively anaerobic strain with slightly curved and straight rod-shaped cells, strain CL-GR58, was isolated from coastal seawater (near Gori, Korea). Analyses of the 16S rRNA gene sequence revealed that strain CL-GR58 belonged to the family with as its closest relative (gene sequence similarity of 90.9 %). Phylogenetic analyses of the 16S rRNA gene sequences showed that strain CL-GR58 was not associated with any known genera in the family . The novel strain grew in the presence of 1–10 % sea salts, optimally at 30–35 °C and pH 8. The major cellular fatty acids consisted of C 7 (48.5 %), C (14.8 %), C (12.2 %), C cyclo 8 (6.3 %) and summed feature 3 (C 7 and/or iso-C 2-OH, 6.0 %). Among the phylogenetically related genera, the fatty acid C was found only in strain CL-GR58. The DNA G+C content of the novel strain was 68.0 mol%. According to phylogenetic analyses of the 16S rRNA gene sequence, fatty acid content and the physiological data, strain CL-GR58 represents a novel species in a new genus of the family , for which the name gen. nov., sp. nov. is proposed. The type strain of the type species is CL-GR58 (=KCCM 42674=DSM 18839).
