Sediminicola arcticus sp. nov., a psychrophilic bacterium isolated from deep-sea sediment, and emended description of the genus Sediminicola Hwang, Chung Yeon and Lee, Inae and Cho, Yirang and Lee, Yung Mi and Jung, You-Jung and Baek, Kiwoon and Nam, Seung-Il and Lee, Hong Kum,, 65, 1567-1571 (2015), doi = https://doi.org/10.1099/ijs.0.000138, publicationName = Microbiology Society, issn = 1466-5026, abstract= A Gram-stain-negative, rod-shaped and non-motile strain, designated PAMC 27266T, was isolated from deep-sea sediment of the Arctic Ocean. Analysis of the 16S rRNA gene sequence of strain PAMC 27266T showed closest affiliation with the genus Sediminicola . Phylogenetic analyses revealed that strain PAMC 27266T formed a robust clade with Sediminicola luteus CNI-3T, with which it shared 98.9 % 16S rRNA gene sequence similarity. Genomic relatedness analyses based on the average nucleotide identity and genome-to-genome distance showed that strain PAMC 27266T is clearly distinguished from S. luteus . Cells of strain PAMC 27266T grew optimally at 15 °C and pH 6.5–7.5 in the presence of 3.5 % (w/v) sea salts. The major polar lipids were phosphatidylethanolamine, two unidentified aminophospholipids and two unidentified lipids. The only respiratory quinone was menaquinone-6. The major cellular fatty acids (>10 %) were C16 : 1ω6c and/or C16 : 1ω7c and C15 : 0. The genomic DNA G+C content was 37.9 mol%. Based on the phylogenetic, genomic, chemotaxonomic and phenotypic data presented, we propose strain PAMC 27266T ( = KCCM 43038T = JCM 19894T) as the type strain of a novel species, with the name Sediminicola arcticus sp. nov., language=, type=
