Winogradskyella tangerina sp. nov., a member of the Flavobacteriaceae isolated from coastal sediment Wang, Chong and Han, Ji-Ru and Liu, Chun-Li and Du, Zong-Jun,, 68, 2832-2837 (2018), doi = https://doi.org/10.1099/ijsem.0.002908, publicationName = Microbiology Society, issn = 1466-5026, abstract= A Gram-stain-negative, rod-shaped bacterium (designated strain M1309T), with slow gliding motility, was isolated from marine sediment obtained off the coast of Weihai, PR China. The growth of M1309T was observed at 16–42 °C (optimum, 37 °C) and pH 6.5–8.0 (optimum, 7.0–7.5) in the presence of 2.0–6.0 % (w/v) NaCl (optimum, 2.0–3.0 %). Phylogenetic analyses based on the 16S rRNA gene sequence revealed that the strain represented a member of the genus Winogradskyella . M1309T exhibited the highest 16S rRNA gene sequence similarity, of 95.5 %, to Winogradskyella poriferorum JCM 12885T. Chemotaxonomic analysis revealed that the sole respiratory quinone was menaquinone 6 (MK-6) and the major fatty acids included iso-C15 : 0, iso-C15 : 1G and iso-C17 : 0 3-OH. The major polar lipids included phosphatidylethanolamine, two aminolipids, and three unidentified lipids. The DNA G+C content of the strain was 36.1 mol%. On the basis of phenotypic distinctiveness and phylogenetic divergence, strain M1309T is considered to represent a novel species of the genus Winogradskyella , for which the name Winogradskyella tangerina sp. nov. is proposed. The type strain is M1309T (=KCTC 52896T=MCCC 1K03310T)., language=, type=
