RT Journal Article SR Electronic(1) A1 Wang, Ming-qing A1 Sun, LiYR 2016 T1 Shewanella inventionis sp. nov., isolated from deep-sea sediment JF International Journal of Systematic and Evolutionary Microbiology, VO 66 IS 12 SP 4947 OP 4953 DO https://doi.org/10.1099/ijsem.0.001450 PB Microbiology Society, SN 1466-5034, AB A novel Gram-stain-negative, rod-shaped bacterial strain, designated KX27T, was isolated from deep-sea sediment of the Okinawa Trough and characterized on the basis of a polyphasic taxonomic approach. The phenotypic features of strain KX27T were similar to those of members of the genus Shewanella . Strain KX27T exhibited highest 16S rRNA gene sequence similarity (98.37 %) to Shewanella basaltis JCM 14937T. Levels of gyrB gene sequence similarity between strain KX27T and its closest genetic neighbours were lower than 90 %, the species cut-off value for Shewanella . The DNA–DNA hybridization value between strain KX27T and S. basaltis JCM 14937T (54 %) was lower than the accepted species threshold. The predominant cellular fatty acids of strain KX27T were summed feature 3 (C16 : 1 ω7c and/or C16 : 1 ω6c), C17 : 1 ω8c, summed feature 8 (C18 : 1 ω7c and/or C18 : 1 ω6c) and iso-C15 : 0. The major polar lipids of strain KX27T were phosphatidylethanolamine and phosphatidylglycerol. On the basis of combined phenotypic, chemotaxonomic and phylogenetic analysis, strain KX27T represents a novel species of the genus Shewanella , for which the name Shewanella inventionis sp. nov. is proposed. The type strain is KX27T (=KCTC 42807T=CGMCC 1.15339T)., UL https://www.microbiologyresearch.org/content/journal/ijsem/10.1099/ijsem.0.001450
