Abstract

A pleomorphic, Gram-negative, rod-shaped, indole-, oxidase- and catalase- negative, non-spore-forming, non-motile bacterium was originally isolated in 1992 from moribund, seawater farmed Atlantic salmon with multifocal tissue necrosis. Strain AVG 2115 displayed considerable similarities with , one of the two etiological agents of rat bite fever, and has been stored as sp. NCIMB 703044. On the basis of 16S rRNA gene sequence analyses, this strain displayed >99 % sequence similarities with uncultured bacterial clones from the digestive tracts of marine mammals, followed by CCUG 41628 (92.7 %), ‘’ Sn35 (92.5 %), CCUG 39713 (92.2 %), OGS16 (91.3 %), AHL 370-1 (91.2 %), DSM 12112 (91.0 %), 131000547 (90.9 %) and DSM 26322 (89.7 %). Sequence similarities to all other taxa were below 89 %. Phylogenetic analysis for strain NCIMB 703044 revealed highly similar results for and nucleotide and deduced amino acid sequence analyses independent of the employed treeing method. Average nucleotide identities (ANI) for complete genomes ranged from 66.00 % to 72.08 % between strain NCIMB 703044 and the type strains of and . Chemotaxonomic and physiological data of strain NCIMB 703044 were in congruence with closely related members of the family , represented by highly similar enzyme profiles and fatty acid patterns. MALDI-TOF MS analysis was capable to clearly discriminate strain NCIMB 703044 from all currently described taxa of the family . On the basis of these data we propose the novel taxon gen. nov. sp. nov. with the type strain AVG 2115 (=NCIMB 703044) (=DSM 101867). The G+C content is 25.4 %, genome size is 1.77 Mbp.
