Phylogenetic analyses based on 16S rRNA gene sequences showed that strains HG645T and HG711 are affiliated phylogenetically to the genus Sporosarcina, and they exhibit sequence similarities of 95.7–97.3 % to the type strains of Sporosarcina species. DNA–DNA relatedness between strain HG645T and the type strain of the phylogenetically related species Sporosarcina aquimarina was less than 10 %. The DNA G+C content of strains HG645T and HG711 were respectively 46.0 and 45.2 mol%. Major polar lipids were diphosphatidylglycerol, phosphatidylglycerol and phosphatidylethanolamine. The cell-wall peptidoglycan type (Lys–Glu), major cellular fatty acids (iso-C15 : 0 and anteiso-C15 : 0) and quinone type (MK-7) of the isolates support their affiliation to the genus Sporosarcina. On the basis of phylogenetic analysis and physiological and chemotaxonomic data, the isolates represent a novel species of the genus Sporosarcina, for which the name Sporosarcina saromensis sp. nov. is proposed. The type strain is strain HG645T (=MBIC08270T=IAM 15429T =KCTC 13119T).", }
