Abstract

A Gram-staining-positive, strictly aerobic, non-spore-forming, rod-shaped bacterial strain, CAU 9163, was isolated from marine sediment collected in the Republic of Korea and its taxonomic position was investigated using a polyphasic approach. The novel strain grew optimally at 30 °C and pH 8.0. In phylogenetic analysis based on 16S rRNA gene sequences, strain CAU 9163 formed a hitherto unknown lineage within the order , which contains the genera , , , and . The levels of 16S rRNA gene sequence similarity between the novel strain and any established bacterial species were all <95.7 %. The major isoprenoid quinines of strain CAU 9163 were MK-8 (65.2 %) and MK-7 (22.8 %) and the predominant fatty acid was anteiso-C. The peptidoglycan was of the A4α type and based on -Lys--Asp. The major whole-cell sugars were ribose and glucose. The polar lipid profile mainly consisted of phosphatidylethanolamine, diphosphatidylglycerol, phosphatidylglycerol, an unidentified glycolipid and an unidentified polar lipid. The genomic DNA G+C content of the novel strain was 44.3 mol%. These data were sufficient to differentiate the novel strain from established genera in the phylum . Based on the phenotypic, chemotaxonomic and genotypic evidence, strain CAU 9163 represents a novel species in a new genus for which the name gen. nov., sp. nov. is proposed. The type strain of is 9163 ( = KCTC 13729  = CCUG 59778).
