Pseudopuniceibacterium sediminis gen. nov., sp. nov., a member of the family Rhodobacteraceae isolated from sediment Zhang, Yan-Jiao and Yu, Ning and Zhang, Xi-Ying and Chen, Shiyong,, 69, 2541-2546 (2019), doi = https://doi.org/10.1099/ijsem.0.003536, publicationName = Microbiology Society, issn = 1466-5026, abstract= A novel Gram-stain-negative bacterium, strain CY03T, was isolated from sediment of the Yellow Sea, PR China. Cells of strain CY03T were rods, aerobic and non-flagellated. Growth occurred at 5–40 °C (optimum, 30 °C), pH 5.5–9.5 (pH 7.5) and with 0.5–9.0 % NaCl (1.5–2.0 %). The 16S rRNA gene sequence comparison showed affiliation to the family Rhodobacteraceae with Puniceibacterium confluentis (97.0 %) as the most closely related species, followed by members of the genus Pseudooceanicola , Pseudooceanicola antarcticus (96.8 %) and Pseudooceanicola nitratireducens (96.7 %). The major cellular fatty acids were cyclo-C19 : 0  ω8c, C16 : 0, summed feature 8 (C18 : 1  ω7c and/or C18 : 1  ω6c) and 11-methyl C18 : 1  ω7c. The polar lipids consisted of phosphatidylcholine, phosphatidylglycerol, one unidentified phospholipid, one unidentified aminolipid and five unidentified lipids. The predominant respiratory quinone was Q-10. The DNA G+C content of the type strain was 62.8 mol%. Based on the results of the polyphasic characterization for strain CY03T, it represents a novel species of a novel genus of the family Rhodobacteraceae , for which the name Pseudopuniceibacterium sediminis gen. nov., sp. nov. is proposed. The type strain is CY03T (=CCTCC AB 2017195T=KCTC 62198T)., language=, type=
