gen. nov., sp. nov., an agar-degrading bacterium from surface seawater Free

Abstract

A Gram-stain-negative, motile, mesophilic, aerobic, rod-shaped bacterium, strain 8-8, was isolated from surface seawater at Muroto, Kochi, Japan. The strain exhibited agar-degrading activity. Phylogenetic analyses based on 16S rRNA gene sequences showed that the strain fell within the family and clustered distantly with members of the genus (≤94.0 % similarity). The DNA G+C content was 41.8 mol%. The major fatty acids were Cω7 and/or iso-C 2-OH, C and Cω7 and the major hydroxy fatty acid was C 3-OH. The major polar lipids were phosphatidylethanolamine, phosphatidylglycerol and an unidentified polar lipid; lysophosphatidylethanolamine and unidentified polar lipids were found as minor components. The major quinone was Q-8. On the basis of phenotypic, genotypic and chemotaxonomic data, strain 8-8 represents a novel species of a new genus, for which the name gen. nov., sp. nov. is proposed. The type strain of is 8-8 ( = NBRC 110023 = LMG 28167).
