Abstract

A Gram-negative, coccoid to rod-shaped, strictly aerobic bacterium, strain CL-GR66, was isolated from coastal seawater collected off Korea. The strain grew optimally in the presence of 3–5 % sea salts, at a temperature of 30 °C and at pH 7. The polar lipid profile of strain CL-GR66 comprised phosphatidylcholine, phosphatidylglycerol, phosphatidylethanolamine, two unidentified aminolipids, an unidentified glycolipid and an unidentified lipid. The major fatty acids were C 7 (71.4 %), 11-methyl C 7 (11.3 %), C (6.4 %) C (4.6 %) and C 3-OH (3.0 %). Ubiquinone 10 was the major quinone. The DNA G+C content was 67.9 mol%. 16S rRNA gene sequence analysis revealed that strain CL-GR66 belonged to the clade within the family . Strain CL-GR66 was related most closely to the type strain of (95.5 % 16S rRNA gene sequence similarity), and sequence similarities between strain CL-GR66 and other type species of the clade ranged from 91.8 to 95.4 %. Phylogenetic analyses of 16S rRNA gene sequences showed that strain CL-GR66 was not associated with any known genus in the family . The distinct phylogenetic position of strain CL-GR66, its phylogenetic distance from genera of the family , together with phenotypic data, suggest that the organism represents a novel species of a new genus, for which the name gen. nov., sp. nov. is proposed. The type strain of is CL-GR66 (=KCCM 90028 =DSM 18986).
