Sedimentitalea todarodis sp. nov., isolated from the intestinal tract of a Japanese flying squid Kim, Hyun Sik and Hyun, Dong-Wook and Lee, June-Young and Kim, Pil Soo and Whon, Tae Woong and Kang, Woorim and Bae, Jin-Woo,, 66, 3293-3298 (2016), doi = https://doi.org/10.1099/ijsem.0.001188, publicationName = Microbiology Society, issn = 1466-5026, abstract= A novel Gram-stain-negative, motile, aerobic and rod-shaped alphaproteobacterium, designated strain KHS03T, was isolated from the intestinal tract of a Japanese flying squid, Todarodes pacificus, which was collected from the East Sea, Korea. The new isolate shared 97.4 % 16S rRNA gene sequence similarity with Sedimentitalea nanhaiensis NH52FT. The isolate grew optimally at 25 °C and pH 7 in the presence of 1–2 % (w/v) NaCl, and had an absolute requirement of sodium ions for growth. The major cellular fatty acid was C18 : 1 ω7c. The primary isoprenoid quinone was ubiquinone-10. Polar lipids comprised diphosphatidylglycerol, phosphatidylcholine, phosphatidylethanolamine, phosphatidylglycerol, an unidentified aminolipid and two unidentified lipids. Genotypic analyses indicated that the whole genomic DNA of the isolate had a G+C content of 59.9 mol%. DNA–DNA hybridization showed that the isolate shared 17.1±2.3 % (reciprocal 17.0±1.9 %) genomic relatedness with the closest related type strain, S. nanhaiensis NH52FT. Strain KHS03T is thus suggested to represent a novel species of the genus Sedimentitalea , for which the name Sedimentitalea todarodis sp. nov. is proposed. The type strain is KHS03T (=KCTC 42412T=JCM 31160T)., language=, type=
