Abstract

A Gram-negative, motile, aerobic, oxidase- and catalase-positive rod, designated P10-2-4, was isolated from an intertidal sand sample collected from a coastal area of Qingdao (Yellow Sea), China. The isolate reduced nitrate to nitrite and grew at 4–33 °C and with 0.5–12 % (w/v) NaCl. The predominant cellular fatty acids were summed feature 3 (Cω7 and/or iso-C 2-OH), Cω7 and C. The major polar lipids were phosphatidylethanolamine and phosphatidylglycerol. The major respiratory quinone was Q-8. The genomic DNA G+C content was 45.1 %. Phylogenetic analysis of 16S rRNA gene sequences revealed that strain P10-2-4 belonged to the genus . The isolate shared the highest 16S rRNA gene sequence similarity (98.1 %) with JAMM 0745 and 96.9, 96.5 and 95.9 % sequence similarities with S3-22, LHW37 and NAG-2N-126, respectively, strains of the other three recognized species in the genus. DNA–DNA relatedness between strain P10-2-4 and JCM 14595 was 35.6 %. Furthermore, strain P10-2-4 could be distinguished from the representatives of the genus by a combination of phenotypic characteristics, such as temperature and NaCl concentration for growth, nitrate reduction, DNase activity and assimilation of substrates. The data from this study suggests that strain P10-2-4 represents a novel species in the genus , for which the name sp. nov. is proposed. The type strain is P10-2-4 ( = CGMCC 1.10971  = KCTC 23686).
