Abstract
A Gram-stain-negative, non-motile, strictly aerobic, rod-shaped bacterium, with one polar flagellum and named D11R37T, was isolated from coral culture seawater of Acropora digitifera. Strain D11R37T grew with 0–6 % (w/v) NaCl (optimum, 0.5%), at 10–41 °C (optimum, 28 °C) and at pH 6.0–7.0 (optimum, 7.0). Phylogenetic analysis based on 16S rRNA gene sequences indicated that strain D11R37T formed a lineage within the genus Flavobacterium , and it was distinct from the most closely related species Flavobacterium suzhouense XIN-1T and Flavobacterium suaedae G16-7T with 16S rRNA gene sequences similarities of 95.97% and 95.48 %. The major respiratory quinone was menaquinone-6. The polar lipids comprised one phosphatidylethanolamine, two aminolipids and one unknown polar lipid. The predominant fatty acids (more than 10 % of total fatty acids) were iso-C15 : 0 (18.0%), iso-C17 : 0 3-OH (11.9 %) and summed feature 3 (10.9 %). The DNA G+C content was 41.3 mol%. Based on polyphasic taxonomic data, strain D11R37T is considered to represent a novel species within the genus Flavobacterium , for which the name Flavobacterium coralii sp. nov. is proposed. The type strain is D11R37T (=KCTC 82968T=MCCC 1K06440T).
