Abstract
A novel Gram-stain-negative, straight or curved rod-shaped, non-spore-forming, strictly aerobic, motile bacterium with a single polar flagellum, designated D3211T, was isolated from marine alga collected at the seashore of Yantai, PR China. The organism grew optimally at 24 °C, pH 7.0 and in the presence of 2.0 % (w/v) NaCl. Strain D3211T contained ubiquinone 8 as the major respiratory quinone and C16 : 1 ω7c and/or C16 : 1 ω6c, C16 : 0, iso-C17 : 0 and anteiso-C17 : 1 B and/or iso-C17 : 1 I as the major fatty acids. The predominant polar lipids of strain D3211T were phosphatidylethanolamine, phosphatidylglycerol and diphosphatidylglycerol. The DNA G+C content of strain D3211T was 39.4 mol%. Phylogenetic analysis based on 16S rRNA gene sequences showed that the novel strain was related most closely to Paraglaciecola arctica BSs20135T, Paraglaciecola aestuariivivens JDTF-33T, Paraglaciecola aquimarina KCTC 32108T, Paraglaciecola mesophila DSM 15026T, Paraglaciecola psychrophila JCM 13954T and Paraglaciecola polaris ARK 150T with 97.6, 97.6, 97.5, 97.4, 97.3 and 97.1 % sequence similarities, respectively. Calculated average nucleotide identity and DNA–DNAhybridization values between strain D3211T and its phylogenetically related Paraglaciecola species were in the range 70.2–73.4 % and 19.1–20.4 %, respectively. On the basis of polyphasic analyses, strain D3211T represents a novel species of the genus Paraglaciecola , for which the name Paraglaciecola marina sp. nov. is proposed. The type strain is D3211T (=KCTC 72122T=MCCC 1K03603T).
