Phylogenetic trees based on 16S rRNA gene sequences showed that strain IO390401T is a member of the genus Alteromonas , sharing 97.0−97.4 % 16S rRNA gene sequence similarity with Alteromonas addita R10SW13T, A. stellipolaris LMG 21861T, A. naphthalenivorans JCM 17741T, A. gracilis 9a2T and A. australica H17T, and 94.8−96.8 % with the type strains of other species of the genus Alteromonas . Strain IO390401T contained ubiquinone-8 (Q-8) as the sole isoprenoid quinone, C16:0 and C16:1 ω7c/C16:1 ω6c as the dominant cellular fatty acids, and phosphatidylglycerol and phosphatidylethanolamine as the major polar lipids. The genome of strain IO390401T consists of a 4.4 Mb chromosome with a G+C content of 48.2 mol%. Average nucleotide identity values between strain IO390401T and the three closest phylogenetic neighbours, namely A. addita R10SW13T, A. stellipolaris LMG 21861T and A. naphthalenivorans JCM 17741T, were 70.5, 70.4 and 70.6 %, respectively, and the corresponding in silico DNA–DNA hybridization values were 20.6, 20.7 and 21.1 %. Phylogenetic distinctiveness and chemotaxonomic differences, together with phenotypic properties determined in this study, revealed that strain IO390401T could be differentiated from closely related species. It is therefore proposed as representing a novel species in the genus Alteromonas , for which the name Alteromonas indica sp. nov. is suggested. The type strain is IO390401T (=JCM 32638T=CGMCC 1.13554T=CCTCC AB 2018072T).", }
