Tenacibaculum insulae sp. nov., isolated from a tidal flat Park, Sooyeon and Choi, Jeehyun and Choi, Su Jung and Yoon, Jung-Hoon,, 68, 228-233 (2018), doi = https://doi.org/10.1099/ijsem.0.002487, publicationName = Microbiology Society, issn = 1466-5026, abstract= A Gram-stain-negative, aerobic, non-motile, non-spore-forming bacterial strain, designated JDTF-31T, was isolated from a tidal flat in Jindo, a South Korean island. Strain JDTF-31T grew optimally at 25 °C and in the presence of 2.0 % (w/v) NaCl. The neighbour-joining phylogenetic tree based on 16S rRNA gene sequences revealed that strain JDTF-31T fell within the cluster comprising the type strains of Tenacibaculum species, joining the type strain of Tenacibaculum soleae . The novel strain exhibited 16S rRNA gene sequence similarity values of 98.3, 97.8 and 97.1 % to the type strains of T. soleae , Tenacibaculum haliotis and Tenacibaculum ovolyticum, respectively, and of 94.2–96.8 % to the type strains of the other Tenacibaculum species. Strain JDTF-31T contained MK-6 as the predominant menaquinone and iso-C15 : 0 and iso-C15 : 0 3-OH as the major fatty acids. The major polar lipids of strain JDTF-31T were phosphatidylethanolamine, one unidentified lipid and one unidentified aminophospholipid. The DNA G+C content of strain JDTF-31T was 31.3 mol% and its DNA–DNA relatedness values with the type strains of T. soleae , T. haliotis and T. ovolyticum were 16–27 %. The differential phenotypic properties, together with its phylogenetic and genetic data, revealed that strain JDTF-31T is separated from other recognized species of the genus Tenacibaculum . On the basis of the data presented, strain JDTF-31T represents a novel species of the genus Tenacibaculum , for which the name Tenacibaculum insulae sp. nov. is proposed. The type strain is JDTF-31T (=KCTC 52749T=NBRC 112783T)., language=, type=
