Abstract

A cellulolytic and agarolytic bacterial strain, designated 12-2, was isolated from a piece of cotton rope fragment washed ashore on a beach and was studied phenotypically, genotypically and phylogenetically. Analyses of 16S rRNA and gene sequences and DNA base composition suggested that the strain is a member of the genus . However, levels of 16S rRNA and gene sequence similarity between it and the type strains of species were no higher than 97.9 and 78.7 %, respectively, suggesting that the strain is distinct. Moreover, the results of DNA–DNA hybridization experiments and physiological characterization clearly differentiated the strain from its closest neighbours. The strain is therefore considered to represent a novel species of the genus , for which the name sp. nov. is proposed. The type strain is 12-2 (=NBRC 111987=KCTC 52141).
