RT Journal Article SR Electronic(1) A1 Zhang, De-Chao A1 Margesin, RosaYR 2015 T1 Gelidibacter sediminis sp. nov., isolated from a sediment sample of the Yellow Sea JF International Journal of Systematic and Evolutionary Microbiology, VO 65 IS Pt_7 SP 2304 OP 2309 DO https://doi.org/10.1099/ijs.0.000256 PB Microbiology Society, SN 1466-5034, AB The Gram-stain-negative, yellow-pigmented, rod-shaped bacterial strain, designated S11-41T, was isolated from a sediment sample of the Yellow Sea in China. The strain was able to grow well over a wide temperature range (1–35 °C). Phylogenetic analysis based on 16S rRNA gene sequences showed that strain S11-41T was related to the members of the genus Gelidibacter, sharing highest sequence similarities with the type strains of Geldibacter salicanalis (98.2 %), Geldibacter algens (97.4 %) and Geldibacter mesophilus (96.9 %). The genomic DNA G+C content of strain S11-41T was 39.2 mol%. The predominant cellular fatty acids were iso-C15 : 0 (13.2 %), iso-C17 : 0 3-OH (12.8 %) and iso-C15 : 1 G (12.2 %). Phosphatidylethanolamine was identified as the major polar lipid. Combined data from phenotypic, phylogenetic and DNA–DNA relatedness studies demonstrated that strain S11-41T is a representative of a novel species of the genus Gelidibacter, for which we propose the name Gelidibacter sediminis sp. nov. (type strain S11-41T = DSM 28135T = LMG 28076T)., UL https://www.microbiologyresearch.org/content/journal/ijsem/10.1099/ijs.0.000256
