Abstract

A taxonomic study was performed on strain SYSU D3-2, isolated from coastal seawater near the estuary of Pearl River in southern China. The strain was observed to be Gram-reaction-negative, non-motile and non-spore-forming. Cells were found to be of coccobacilli shape. Chemotaxonomic analysis of the plasma membrane revealed ubiquinone-8 as the respiratory quinone, diphosphatidylglycerol, phosphatidylcholine, phosphatidylethanolamine, phosphatidylglycerol, an unidentified aminolipid, an unidentified aminophospholipid and an unidentified phospholipid as the polar lipids, and anteiso-C, C and anteiso-C as the major fatty acids (>10 % of total fatty acids). Comparison of 16S rRNA gene sequences showed that strain SYSU D3-2 shared maximum similarities with 51 (92.3 %) and UST040201-002 (90.6 %), while sharing 85.8–90.0 % similarity with species of the genera and . Phylogenetic dendrograms based on the 16S rRNA gene sequences showed that the strain clustered within the family , but formed a separate lineage closely linked to 51 and UST040201-002. Based on the findings of the polyphasic taxonomic study, strain SYSU D3-2 is proposed to be recognized as a representative of a novel species of a new genus within the order , with the name gen. nov., sp. nov. The type strain of the type species is SYSU D3-2 (=NBRC 112441=DSM 101832=KCTC 52386=CGMCC 1.15758).
