sp. nov., a moderately halophilic bacterium from a solar saltern Free

Abstract

A moderately halophilic bacterium designated strain M6-53 was isolated from water of a pond from a marine saltern located in Huelva, south-west Spain. Cells of the strain were Gram-stain-negative, strictly aerobic, motile, slightly curved rods, able to grow in media containing 5–25 % (w/v) NaCl (optimal growth at 10 %, w/v), at temperatures from 20 to 40 °C (optimally at 37 °C) and at pH 6.5–9 (optimally at pH 7.0). Phylogenetic analysis based on 16S rRNA gene sequences placed the new isolate within the genus , with the type strains of the most closely related species being IBRC-M 10445 (98.5 % similarity), Set74 (97.2 %) and ATCC 49840 (97.1 %). The major fatty acids present in strain M6-53 were Cω9 (29.5 %), C (26.7 %), C 3-OH (15.1 %), C (10.2 %) and Cω9 (9.6 %). The G+C content of the genomic DNA for this strain was determined to be 56.4 mol%. The DNA–DNA hybridization values between strain M6-53 and CECT 7991, CECT 7499 and DSM 50418 were 8, 41 and 38 %, respectively. These values are lower than the accepted 70 % threshold and showed that the new isolate represented a different species within the genus . Phylogenetic analysis based on the 16S rRNA gene sequence and the phenotypic, genotypic and chemotaxonomic features of this new isolate support the placement of strain M6-53 as a representative of a novel species of the genus , for which we propose the name sp. nov., with strain M6-53 (=CECT 9228=LMG 30006) as the type strain.
