Janibactercremeus sp. nov., an actinobacterium isolated from sea sediment Hamada, Moriyuki and Shibata, Chiyo and Tamura, Tomohiko and Yamamura, Hideki and Hayakawa, Masayuki and Suzuki, Ken-ichiro,, 63, 3687-3690 (2013), doi = https://doi.org/10.1099/ijs.0.051532-0, publicationName = Microbiology Society, issn = 1466-5026, abstract= A novel Gram-stain-positive actinobacterium, designated HR08-44T, was isolated from a sea-sediment sample collected from the foreshore of Rishiri Island, Japan, and its taxonomic position was investigated by a polyphasic approach. Phylogenetic analysis based on 16S rRNA gene sequence comparisons revealed that strain HR08-44T was closely related to the members of the genus Janibacter , with pairwise sequence similarities of 97.3–98.8 %. Strain HR08-44T had peptidoglycan type A1γ, with meso-diaminopimelic acid as the diagnostic diamino acid. The predominant menaquinone was MK-8(H4) and the major fatty acids were iso-C16 : 0, C17 : 1ω8c, C17 : 0 and C18 : 1ω9c. These data supported the affiliation of the novel strain to the genus Janibacter . Meanwhile, the results of DNA–DNA hybridization and physiological and biochemical tests indicated that strain HR08-44T can be distinguished from recognized species of the genus Janibacter . Therefore, strain HR08-44T represents a novel species of the genus Janibacter , for which the name Janibacter cremeus sp. nov. is proposed; the type strain is HR08-44T ( = NBRC 107693T = DSM 26154T)., language=, type=
