sp. nov., isolated from a tidal flat of the Yellow Sea in Korea Free

Abstract

A Gram-negative, motile, ovoid to rod-shaped bacterial strain, designated strain SMK-122, was isolated from a Yellow Sea tidal flat located on the coast of Korea. Strain SMK-122 grew optimally at pH 7.0–8.0 and 30 °C. It contained Q-10 as the predominant ubiquinone and possessed C 7 and C as the major fatty acids. The DNA G+C content was 58.6 mol%. A phylogenetic analysis based on 16S rRNA gene sequences showed that strain SMK-122 fell within the genus , being closest to ISM; the sequence similarities with respect to species ranged from 94.9 to 97.3 %. The mean value for DNA–DNA relatedness between strain SMK-122 and DSM 15170 was 13 %. Differential phenotypic properties of SMK-122, together with its phylogenetic and genetic distinctiveness, revealed that this strain is distinct from recognized species. On this basis, strain SMK-122 represents a novel species of the genus , for which the name sp. nov. is proposed. The type strain is SMK-122 (=KCTC 22174 =CCUG 55325).
