Abstract
Three bacterial strains, designated as AS18T, AS27 and AS39, were obtained from mangrove sediment sampled in Futian district, Shenzhen, PR China. Cells of these strains were Gram-negative rods with no flagella. They were able to grow at 10–42 °C (optimum, 37 °C), at pH 5–9 (optimum, pH 6) and in 1–11 % (w/v) NaCl (optimum, 2 %). Phylogenetic analysis based on 16S rRNA gene sequences indicated that the new isolates were clustered within the genus Mangrovimonas , closely related to Mangrovimonas yunxiaonensis (95.1 % similarity) and Mangrovimonas spongiae (94.7 % similarity). Phylogenomic analysis based on multiple core genes revealed that the three strains were located in a different cluster from other closely related strains of the genus Mangrovimonas . Digital DNA–DNA hybridization, average nucleotide identity and average amino acid identity values calculated from genome sequences between isolates and type strains were lower than 25, 75 and 72 %, respectively. The dominant fatty acids were iso-C15 : 0 and iso-C15 : 1 G. The main respiratory quinone was identified as MK-6. The major polar lipids contained phosphatidylethanolamine, two unidentified aminolipids and five unidentified lipids. The results of multiphase taxonomy suggested that the three strains should be assigned to a novel species of the genus Mangrovimonas , for which the name Mangrovimonas futianensis sp. nov. is proposed, with the type strain AS18T (=GDMCC 1.2739T=JCM 34871T).
