Abstract
A Gram-stain-negative, non-motile, ellipsoid bacterium, designated HB182678T, was isolated from brown alga collected from Hainan province, PR China. Growth was observed at 10–50 °C (optimum 37–40 °C), at pH 6–10 (optimum pH 8) and in the presence of 0.5–13% (w/v) NaCl (optimum, 2–4%). The predominant isoprenoid quinone was Q-10 and the major fatty acids were C18 : 1 ω7c, C16 : 0, C18 : 0 and C19 : 0 cyclo ω8c. The polar lipids contained diphosphatidylglycerol, phosphatidylglycerol, phosphatidylethanolamine, phosphatidylmethylethanolamine, an unidentified phospholipid, two unidentified glycolipids and three unidentified aminophospholipids. The size of the draft genome was 4.40 Mbp with G+C content 68.8 mol%. Phylogenetic analysis of 16S rRNA gene sequence indicated that strain HB182678T belonged to the genus Mangrovicoccus , and the closest phylogenetically related species was Mangrovicoccus ximenensis T1lg56T (with the similarity of 96.3%). Whole genome average nucleotide identity (ANI) value between them was 84.3% and in silico DNA–DNA hybridization value was 27.2%. The combined phylogenetic relatedness, phenotypic and genotypic features supported the conclusion that strain HB182678T represents a novel species of the genus Mangrovicoccus , for which the name Mangrovicoccus algicola sp. nov. is proposed. The type strain is HB182678T (=MCCC 1K04624T=KCTC 82318T).
