Olleya algicola sp. nov., a marine bacterium isolated from the green alga Ulva fenestrata Nedashkovskaya, Olga I. and Kim, Song-Gun and Zhukova, Natalia V. and Mikhailov, Valery V.,, 67, 2205-2210 (2017), doi = https://doi.org/10.1099/ijsem.0.001926, publicationName = Microbiology Society, issn = 1466-5026, abstract= A strictly aerobic, Gram-stain-negative, rod-shaped, motile by gliding and yellow-pigmented bacterium, designated strain 3Alg 18T, was isolated from the Pacific green alga Ulva fenestrata. Phylogenetic analysis based on 16S rRNA gene sequences showed that the novel strain was affiliated to the family Flavobacteriaceae of the phylum Bacteroidetes , being most closely related to the type strains of recognized species of the genus Olleya , with 16S rRNA gene sequence similarity of 97.9–99.3 %. Strain 3Alg 18T grew in the presence of 0.5–5 % (w/v) NaCl and at 4–37 °C, and hydrolysed aesculin, casein, gelatin, starch and Tweens 20, 40 and 80. The prevalent fatty acids were iso-C15 : 0, iso-C15 : 1 G, iso-C15 : 0 3-OH, iso-C16:0 2-OH, iso-C17 : 0 3-OH, summed feature 3, iso-C16 : 0 3-OH, anteiso-C15 : 0 and C15 : 0. The polar lipid profile contained phosphatidylethanolamine, three unidentified aminolipids and four unidentified lipids. The major respiratory quinone was menaquinone MK-6. The genomic DNA G+C content was 34.6 mol%. On the basis of 16S rRNA gene sequence data, and chemotaxonomic and phenotypic characteristics, strain 3Alg 18T represents a novel species of the genus Olleya , for which the name Olleya algicola sp. nov. is proposed. The type strain is 3Alg 18T (=KCTC 22024T=KMM 6133T)., language=, type=
