Abstract

A Gram-negative, rod-shaped bacterium, designated KH87, was isolated from a fishing hook that had been baited and suspended in seawater off O‘ahu, Hawai‘i. Based on a comparison of 1524 nt of the 16S rRNA gene sequence of strain KH87, its nearest neighbours were the E407-8 (96.2 % identity), K19414 (96.0 %), KMM 1406 (95.8 %), E49 (95.7 %), KMK6 (94.9 %) and GCM72 (94.6 %). Cells of KH87 were motile by a single polar flagellum, strictly aerobic, and catalase- and oxidase-positive. Growth occurred between 4 and 39 °C, and in a circumneutral pH range. Major fatty acids in whole cells of strain KH87 were -9-hexadecenoic acid, hexadecanoic acid and -11-octadecenoic acid. The quinone system contained mostly menaquinone MK-7, and a minor amount of ubiquinone Q-8. The polar lipid profile contained the major lipids phosphatidylglycerol, phosphatidylserine, phosphatidylethanolamine, an unidentified aminolipid, and a lipid not containing phosphate, an amino group or a sugar moiety. Putrescine was the major polyamine. Physiological, biochemical and genomic data, including obligate halophily, absence of amylolytic activity, a quinone system dominated by MK-7 and DNA G+C content (42.0 mol%) distinguished KH87 from extant species; strain KH87 was also distinguished by a multi-locus sequence analysis of aligned and concatenated 16S rRNA, , and gene sequences. Based on phenotypic and genotypic differences, the species sp. nov. is proposed to accommodate KH87 as the type strain (=ATCC BAA-2715=CIP 111115). An emended description of the genus is also proposed.
