sp. nov., an astaxanthin-producing bacterium isolated from a marine sediment Free

Abstract

A Gram-negative, non-motile, non-spore-forming, halophilic rod, designated JPCCMB0017, was isolated from a marine sediment of the coastal area of Okinawa, Japan. The isolate formed orange–red colonies on marine agar. Bacteriochlorophyll α was absent and sphingoglycolipid 1 and other carotenoids, including astaxanthin, adonixanthin and zeaxanthin, were present. Ubiquinone-10 (Q-10) was the main respiratory quinone and Cω7 was the major cellular fatty acid. The G+C content of DNA was 59.1 mol%. Phylogenetic analysis based on 16S rRNA gene sequencing revealed that the isolate was a member of the genus in the family . Strain JPCCMB0017 exhibited 96.8 % 16S rRNA gene sequence similarity with H32. Unlike other members of the genus , strain JPCCMB0017 reduced nitrate. On the basis of genotypic and phenotypic data, a novel species is proposed to accommodate this isolate, with the name sp. nov. The type strain is JPCCMB0017 ( = NITE-AP48 = ATCC BAA-2084 = NBRC 107699).
