A Gram-stain-negative, short-rod-shaped and pink-pigmented bacterial strain (HB172049 T ) was isolated from mangrove sediment. Cells grew at 10-45 °C (optimum, 30 °C), pH 6.0-9.0 (optimum, pH 7.0) and with 0.5-9.0 % (w/v) NaCl (optimum, 2-5 %). Analysis of the 16S rRNA gene sequence revealed that the isolate had highest sequence similarities to Pontibacter mucosus DSM 100162 T (96.5 %) and Pontibacter korlensis X14-1 T (96.5 %). The values of average nucleotide identity, average amino acid identity and digital DNA-DNA hybridization between the isolate and its close neighbours were, respectively, less than 80.1, 81.7 and 23.2 %. Chemotaxonomic analysis indicated that the sole respiratory quinone was MK-7 and the predominant cellular fatty acids were summed feature 4 and iso-C 15 : 0 (42.2 and 24.6 %, respectively). The major polar lipids consisted of phosphatidylethanolamine, diphosphatidylglycerol, phosphatidylglycerol, one unidentified glycolipid, one unidentified phospholipid, one unidentified aminophospholipid and two unidentified polar lipids. The genomic DNA G+C content was 52.6 mol%. Based on polyphasic taxonomic characterization, it is proposed that strain HB172049 T belongs to the genus Pontibacter and represents a novel species, for which the name Pontibacter mangrovi sp. nov. is proposed. The type strain is HB172049 T (=CGMCC 1.16729 T =JCM 33333 T ).
A Gram-stain-negative, non-motile, facultatively anaerobic, short rod-shaped bacterium, designated HB171799T, was isolated from seacoast sandy soil collected at Qishui Bay, Hainan, PR China. The chemotaxonomic analysis revealed that the respiratory quinones were Q-8 and Q-7, and the major cellular fatty acids were summed feature 8 (comprising C18 : 1
ω7c and/or C18 : 1
ω6c), C16 : 0 and C18 : 0. The major polar lipids were diphosphatidylglycerol, phosphatidylglycerol, phosphatidylethanolamine, an unidentified phospholipid and an unidentified lipid. The size of the draft genome was 3.68 Mb with a DNA G+C content of 48.0 mol%. Results of phylogenetic analyses based on 16S rRNA gene and genome sequences showed that the novel isolate belonged to the family
Oceanospirillaceae
and formed a distinct subcluster at the base of the radiation of the genus
Marinomonas
. The highest sequence similarity (96.0 %) of the novel isolate was found to the type strains of
Marinomonas fungiae
JCM 18476T and
Marinomonas ostreistagni
DSM23425T. The whole genome-based phylogeny and differences in cellular fatty acids and polar lipids readily distinguished strain HB171799T from all the closely related validly published type strains. Strain HB171799T is therefore suggested to represent a novel species of a new genus in the family
Oceanospirillaceae
, for which the name Maribrevibacterium harenarium gen. nov., sp. nov. is proposed. The type strain is HB171799T (=CGMCC 1.16727T=JCM 33332T).
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
