Devosia naphthalenivorans sp. nov., isolated from East Pacific Ocean sediment Chen, Yong and Zhu, Sidong and Lin, Danqiu and Wang, Xing and Yang, Jifang and Chen, Jigang,, 69, 1974-1979 (2019), doi = https://doi.org/10.1099/ijsem.0.003410, publicationName = Microbiology Society, issn = 1466-5026, abstract= A Gram-stain-negative bacterium, designated CM5-1T, was isolated from a sediment sample collected from the East Pacific Ocean. 16S rRNA gene sequence analysis revealed that strain CM5-1T belongs to the genus Devosia , with closely related type strains Devosia submarina KMM 9415T (98.6 %), Devosia psychrophila Cr7-05T (98.6 %) and Devosia psychrophila E84T (98.2 %). Up-to-date bacterial core gene set analysis revealed that strain CM5-1T represents one independent lineage with D. submarina KMM 9415T. The average nucleotide identity values of CM5-1T with D. submarina KMM 9415T and D. psychrophila Cr7-05T are 80.1 and 77.9 %, respectively. In silico DNA–DNA hybridization values between strain CM5-1T and D. submarina KMM 9415T and D. psychrophila Cr7-05T are 23.8 and 21.9 %, respectively. Strain CM5-1T contains diphosphatidylglycerol, phosphatidylglycerol and glycolipid as major polar lipids. The sole isoprenoid quinone is ubiquinone-10, and C18 : 1ω7c and 11-methyl C18 : 1ω7c are the dominant cellular fatty acids. The G+C content of the genomic DNA is 61.4 mol%. Differential phylogenetic distinctiveness and chemotaxonomic differences, together with the phenotypic properties observed in this study, revealed that strain CM5-1T could be differentiated from closely related species. Therefore, we propose strain CM5-1T as a novel species of the genus Devosia , for which the name Devosia naphthalenivorans sp. nov. is suggested. The type strain is CM5-1T (=JCM32509T=CGMCC 1.13553T)., language=, type=
