sp. nov., isolated from the torch coral Free

Abstract

Strain Eup a-2, isolated from the torch coral , was characterized using a polyphasic taxonomy approach. Cells of strain Eup a-2 were Gram-negative, aerobic and motile by three polar flagella and formed translucent colonies. Optimal growth occurred at 25 °C, pH 6–8 and in the presence of 2–4 % NaCl. Phylogenetic analyses based on 16S rRNA gene sequences showed that strain Eup a-2 belonged to the genus and showed the highest levels of sequence similarity with respect to Y32 (97.8 %). Strain Eup a-2 contained summed feature 3 (Cω7 and/or Cω6) and C as the predominant fatty acids. The predominant isoprenoid quinone was Q-8. The major polar lipids were phosphatidylethanolamine, phosphatidylglycerol and diphophatidylglycerol. Genomic DNA G+C content of strain Eup a-2 was 49.1 mol%. The DNA–DNA hybridization value for strain Eup a-2 with Y32 was less than 30 %. Differential phenotypic properties, together with the phylogenetic inference, demonstrate that strain Eup a-2 should be classified as a novel species of the genus , for which the name sp. nov. is presented. The type strain is Eup a-2 (=BCRC 81004=LMG 29725=KCTC 52438).
