Paracoccus subflavus sp. nov., isolated from Pacific Ocean sediment Free

Abstract

A Gram-stain-negative, short rod-shaped, non-motile, catalase- and oxidase-positive, aerobic bacterium, designated GY0581, was isolated from marine sediment sampled from the Western Pacific Ocean. Phylogenetic analyses based on 16S rRNA gene sequences indicated that strain GY0581 belonged to the genus Paracoccus and had the highest levels of sequence similarity to Paracoccus sediminis JCM 18467 (98.2 %). Levels of similarity between strain GY0581 and other Paracoccus species were lower than 97.0 %. The average nucleotide identity and the DNA–DNA hybridization values between strain GY0581 and P. sediminis JCM 18467 were 83.9 and 27 %, respectively, which are below the respective thresholds for species differentiation. The major cellular fatty acid was C18 : 1ω7c (79.5 %). The only isoprenoid quinone was Q-10. The polar lipid pattern indicated the presence of diphosphatidylglycerol, phosphatidylethanolamine, phosphatidylglycerol, phosphatidylcholine, three unidentified phospholipids, three unidentified aminolipids, one unidentified glycolipid and two unidentified lipids. The DNA G+C content of strain GY0581 was 65.6 mol%. On the basis of polyphasic characterization, it is concluded that strain GY0581 represents a novel species of the genus Paracoccus , for which the name Paracoccus subflavus sp. nov. is proposed. The type strain is GY0581 (=KCTC 42710=MCCC 1A10575).
