sp. nov., a moderately halophilic species of the genus from salterns Free

Abstract

Four pink-pigmented, non-motile, Gram-staining-negative and moderately halophilic curved rods, designated strains SSL50, SSL25, SSL97 and SSL4, were isolated from a saltern located in Isla Cristina, Huelva, south-west Spain. Phylogenetic analyses based on 16S rRNA gene sequences showed that they were members of the genus , most closely related to UAH-SP71 (99.3–99.5 % sequence similarity) and M19-40 (96.5–96.7 %). Other related strains were MLHE-1 (95.1–95.3 %), RS91 (95.1–95.2 %) and ATCC 49307 (95.0–95.1 %), all members of the family . The major fatty acids were C and/or C , C and C. The DNA G+C range was 64.0–66.3 mol%. The DNA–DNA hybridization values between strains SSL50, SSL25, SSL97, SSL4 and UAH-SP71 were 37–49 %. The average nucleotide identity (ANIb) values between the genome of strain SSL50 and those of the two other representatives of the genus , UAH-SP71 and M19-40, were 82.4 % and 79.1 %, respectively, supporting the proposal of a novel species of the genus . On the basis of the polyphasic analysis, the four new isolates are considered to represent a novel species of the genus , for which the name sp. nov. is proposed. The type strain is SSL50 (=CECT 9117=IBRC-M 11076).
