Shewanella gaetbuli sp. nov., a slight halophile isolated from a tidal flat in Korea Yoon, Jung-Hoon and Kang, Kook Hee and Oh, Tae-Kwang and Park, Yong-Ha,, 54, 487-491 (2004), doi = https://doi.org/10.1099/ijs.0.02731-0, publicationName = Microbiology Society, issn = 1466-5026, abstract= A Gram-negative, motile, non-spore-forming, rod-shaped strain, TF-27T (=KCCM 41648T=JCM 11814T), was isolated from a tidal flat in Korea. This organism grew well at 25–35 °C, with optimum growth at 30 °C. Strain TF-27T grew optimally in the presence of 2 % NaCl; it did not grow without NaCl or in the presence of >8 % NaCl. Strain TF-27T simultaneously contained both menaquinones and ubiquinones as isoprenoid quinones. The predominant menaquinone was MK-7 and the predominant ubiquinones were Q-7 and Q-8. The major fatty acids in strain TF-27T were iso-C15 : 0 (20·6 %) and iso-C15 : 0 2-OH and/or C16 : 1 ω7c (21·1 %). The DNA G+C content of strain TF-27T was 42 mol%. Phylogenetic analyses based on 16S rDNA sequences showed that strain TF-27T falls within the radiation of the cluster that is encompassed by the genus Shewanella. Levels of 16S rDNA sequence similarity between strain TF-27T and the type strains of Shewanella species were 93·2–96·8 %. On the basis of phenotypic properties and phylogenetic data, strain TF-27T should be placed in the genus Shewanella as a novel species, for which the name Shewanella gaetbuli sp. nov. is proposed., language=, type=
