sp. nov., a non-flagellated bacterium specialized in the degradation of iota-carrageenan, and emended description of the genus Free

Abstract

Strain 1, isolated in the 1970s from the thallus of the carrageenophytic red algae, , collected in Hawaii, USA, was characterized using a polyphasic method. Cells were Gram-stain-negative, strictly aerobic, non-flagellated, ovoid or rod-shaped and grew optimally at 20–25 °C, at pH 6–9 and with 2–4 % NaCl. Strain 1 used the seaweed polysaccharides ι-carrageenan, laminarin and alginic acid as sole carbon sources. The major fatty acids were C, C ω7 and summed feature 3 (C ω7 and/or iso-C 2OH) with significant amounts (>6 %) of C N alcohol and 10 methyl C. The respiratory quinone was Q-8 and major polar lipids were phosphatidylethanolamine, phosphatidylglycerol and an unknown aminolipid. Phylogenetic analyses showed that the bacterium is affiliated to the genus (family , class ). Strain 1 exhibited 16S rRNA gene sequence similarity values of 98.8 and 99.2 % to the type strains of and respectively, and of 95.2–98.6 % to other species of the genus . The DNA G+C content of strain 1 was determined to be 43.9 mol%. Digital DNA–DNA hybridization predictions by the ANI and GGDC methods between strain 1 and other members of the genus showed values below 83 % and 30 %, respectively. The phenotypic, phylogenetic and genomic analyses show that strain 1 is distinct from species of the genus with validly published names and that it represents a novel species of the genus , for which the name sp. nov. is proposed. The type strain is 1 (=ATCC 43554=RCC 5933=CIP 111645=DSM 106819).
