Abstract

A Gram-stain-negative, non-motile, mesophilic, aerobic, rod-shaped bacterium, strain 2-9, was isolated from surface seawater at Muroto city, Kochi prefecture, Japan. The strain was transparent on 1/5 strength marine broth plate but became easily visible when the plate was supplemented with pyruvate. Phylogenetic analyses based on the 16S rRNA gene sequence showed that the strain fell within the class and was most closely related to the genus (92.7–93.0 % 16S rRNA gene sequence similarities to type strains of species of this genus) of an unclassified order within this class. The DNA G+C content of strain 2-9 was 41.7 mol%. The major fatty acids were Cω7 (37.6 %), Cω7 and/or iso-C 2-OH (summed feature 3; 19.1 %), C (10.8 %), C (10.2 %) and an unidentified fatty acid with an equivalent chain-length value of 11.799 (9.5 %). The major polar lipids were phosphatidylglycerol, phosphatidylethanolamine and three unidentified lipids. Ubiquinone-8 (Q-8) was detected as the sole isoprenoid quinone. From these taxonomic data, it is proposed that strain 2-9 represents a novel species of a new genus, gen. nov., sp. nov. The type strain of the type species is 2-9 ( = NBRC 110144 = KCTC 42196). A new family, fam. nov. (type genus ), and order, ord. nov., of the class are proposed to accommodate the novel taxon.
