Marinicella sediminis sp. nov., isolated from marine sediment Wang, Xiao-Qun and Li, Chang-Ming and Dunlap, Christopher A. and Rooney, Alejandro P. and Du, Zong-Jun,, 68, 2335-2339 (2018), doi = https://doi.org/10.1099/ijsem.0.002839, publicationName = Microbiology Society, issn = 1466-5026, abstract= A novel heterotrophic, Gram-stain-negative, aerobic, rod-shaped, pale yellow, non-motile and non-spore-forming bacterium, designated strain F2T, was isolated from marine sediment collected from the Weihai coast, Shandong Province, PR China. Optimal growth occurred at 33 °C (range, 10–37 °C), with 3.0–4.0 % (w/v) NaCl (1.0–8.0 %) and at pH 7.5–8.0 (pH 6.5–9.0). Q-8 was the sole respiratory quinone. The major polar lipids of strain F2T were phosphatidylmonomethylethanolamine, phosphatidylcholine, phosphatidylglycerol, phosphatidylethanolamine, two unidentified phospholipids and two unidentified polar lipids. The major cellular fatty acid in strain F2T was iso-C15 : 0. The genomic DNA G+C content of the strain was 48.1 mol%. Phylogenetic analysis based on 16S rRNA gene sequencing revealed that strain F2T is most closely related to Marinicella litoralis JCM 16154T (97.5 %) and Marinicella pacifica sw153T (96.0 %). Based on the results of our polyphasic analysis, we conclude that strain F2T represents a novel species of the genus Marinicella , for which the name Marinicella sediminis sp. nov. is proposed. The type strain of the new species is F2T (=KCTC 42953T=MCCC 1H00149T)., language=, type=
