sp. nov., a gammaproteobacterium isolated from seawater Free

Abstract

A Gram-stain-negative, aerobic, non-spore-forming, non-motile and ovoid or rod-shaped bacterial strain, MYP5, was isolated from seawater in Jeju island of South Korea. MYP5 grew optimally at 30–35 °C and in the presence of 2.0 % (w/v) NaCl. A neighbour-joining phylogenetic tree based on 16S rRNA gene sequences revealed that MYP5 fell within the clade enclosed by the type strains of species of the genus , clustering with the type strains of and . MYP5 exhibited the highest 16S rRNA gene sequence similarity value (98.0 %) to the type strain of and similarities of 95.1–97.9 % to the type strains of the other species of the genus . ANI and dDDH values of genomic sequences between MYP5 and the type strains of 22 species of the genus were 66.8–70.5 % and 18.6–27.5 %, respectively. The DNA G+C content of MYP5, determined from the genome sequence, was 46.1 %. MYP5 contained Q-8 as the predominant ubiquinone and C ω7, summed feature 3 (C ω7 and/or C ω6), C and 10-methyl C as the major fatty acids. The major polar lipids of MYP5 were phosphatidylethanolamine and phosphatidylglycerol. Distinguishing phenotypic properties, along with the phylogenetic and genetic distinctiveness, revealed that MYP5 is separated from species of the genus . On the basis of the data presented, MYP5 is considered to represent a novel species of the genus , for which the name sp. nov. is proposed. The type strain is MYP5 (=KCTC 82144=NBRC 114354).
