Abstract

A Gram-stain-negative, motile, rod-shaped, orange-pigmented bacterium able to degrade polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons was isolated from deep-sea sediment of the Atlantic Ocean and subjected to a polyphasic taxonomic study. The strain, designated s21-N3, could grow at 4–37 °C (optimum 28 °C), at pH 5–10 (optimum pH 7–8) and with 1–7 % (w/v) NaCl (optimum 2–3 %). Strain s21-N3 was positive for nitrate reduction, denitrification, aesculin hydrolysis, oxidase and catalase, but negative for indole production and urease. Phylogenetic analyses based on 16S rRNA gene sequences showed that strain s21-N3 formed a distinct branch within the genus , sharing high similarities with three closely related strains, HWDM-33 (98.67 %), ‘’ KA37 (97.80 %) and K7-2 (97.59 %). The similarities between strain s21-N3 and other type strains of recognized species within the genus ranged from 95.00 to 96.47 %. The digital DNA–DNA hybridization values and average nucleotide identity (ANI) values between strain s21-N3 and the three closely related strains HWDM-33, ‘’ KA37 and K7-2 were 18.60, 18.00 and 18.50 % and 74.24, 72.49 and 72.54 %, respectively. The principal fatty acids were summed feature 8 (Cω7/ω6) and summed feature 3 (Cω7/ω6). The respiratory lipoquinone was identified as Q-10. The major polar lipids comprised sphingoglycolipid, phosphatidylethanolamine, phosphatidylglycerol, phosphatidylcholine and diphosphatidylglycerol. The G+C content of the chromosomal DNA was determined to be 58.18 mol%. The combined genotypic and phenotypic distinctiveness demonstrated that strain s21-N3 represents a novel species of the genus , for which the name sp. nov. is proposed, with the type strain s21-N3 ( = MCCC 1A00519 = KCTC 42697).
