Abstract

Two marine bacteria, designated strains MBE#61 and MBE#74, were isolated from a piece of sunken bamboo in the marine environment in Japan. Both of these strains were Gram-stain-negative, but had different cell shapes: MBE#61 was spiral, whereas MBE#74 was rod-shaped. The temperature, pH and salt concentration ranges for growth of strain MBE#61 were 4–38 °C (optimal at 32 °C), pH 4.5–11.0 (optimal at pH 7.0–8.0) and 1–11 % (optimal at 2 %) NaCl, whereas those of strain MBE#74 were 4–36 °C (optimal at 30 °C), pH 4.0–10.5 (optimal at pH 7.0–8.0) and 1–12 % (optimal at 4 %) NaCl. Phylogenetic analysis based on partial 16S rRNA gene sequences revealed that both strains belong to the genus within the class . Similarity between the 16S rRNA gene sequence of strain MBE#61 and those of the type strains of species of the genus was 97.5–99.0 %, and that of strain MBE#74 was 96.9–98.6 %; these two isolates were most closely related to QMT2. However, the DNA–DNA hybridization values between QMT2 and strain MBE#61 or MBE#74 were only 16.0 % and 7.1 %, respectively. The DNA G+C content of strain MBE#61 was 54.4 mol%, and that of strain MBE#74 was 55.9 mol%. The predominant isoprenoid quinone of the two strains was Q-10 (MBE#61, 97.3 %; MBE#74, 93.5 %). The major cellular fatty acids of strain MBE#61 were Cω7 (31.1 %), summed feature 3 comprising Cω7/iso-C 2-OH (26.1 %) and C (20.9 %); those of strain MBE#74 were C (26.2 %), C cyclo (19.9 %) and Cω7 (12.1 %). On the basis of these results, strain MBE#61 and strain MBE#74 are considered to represent novel species of the genus , for which names sp. nov. and sp. nov. are proposed. The type strains are MBE#61 ( = JCM 18968 = CECT 8273) and MBE#74 ( = JCM 18969 = CECT 8274), respectively. An emended description of the genus is also proposed.
