Fabibacterpacificus sp. nov., a moderately halophilic bacterium isolated from seawater Huo, Ying-Yi and Xu, Lin and Wang, Chun-Sheng and Yang, Jun-Yi and You, Hong and Oren, Aharon and Xu, Xue-Wei,, 63, 3710-3714 (2013), doi = https://doi.org/10.1099/ijs.0.051276-0, publicationName = Microbiology Society, issn = 1466-5026, abstract= A Gram-stain-negative, aerobic, moderately halophilic bacterium, strain DY53T, was isolated from a deep-seawater sample collected from the eastern Pacific Ocean. This isolate grew in the presence of 0.5–10.0 % (w/v) NaCl, at pH 6.5–8.5 and at 15–40 °C. The optimum NaCl concentration for growth of DY53T was 2 % (w/v) at 35 °C. Chemotaxonomic analysis showed MK-7 as the predominant menaquinone and iso-C15 : 0, summed feature 3 (iso-C15 : 0 2-OH and/or C16 : 1ω7c), iso-C15 : 1 G, iso-C15 : 0 3-OH and iso-C17 : 0 3-OH as major cellular fatty acids. The genomic DNA G+C content was 40.8 mol%. Phylogenetic trees based on 16S rRNA gene sequences revealed that Fabibacter halotolerans UST030701-097T was the closest neighbour, with 96.7 % sequence similarity. Based on phylogenetic, chemotaxonomic and phenotypic data, we propose that strain DY53T represents a novel species of the genus Fabibacter , for which the name Fabibacter pacificus sp. nov. is proposed. The type strain is DY53T( = CGMCC 1.12402T = JCM 18885T)., language=, type=
