A Gram-stain-positive, aerobic, motile and non-spore-forming actinobacterium, strain Y32 T , was isolated from a deep-sea sediment of the western Pacific Ocean. Phylogenetic and phenotypic properties of the organism supported that it belonged to the genus Georgenia. Strain Y32 T shared highest 16S rRNA gene sequence similarity of 97.8 % with Georgenia muralis 1A-C T ,followed by Georgenia thermotolerans TT02-04 T (97.4 %), Georgenia daeguensis 2C6-43and Georgenia soli CC-NMPT-T3 T (97.0 %). The organism grew in the presence of 0-10 % (w/v) NaCl, at 4-40 8C and at pH 6-11, with optimal growth occurring at 30-35 8C, at pH 7 and in the presence of 3.5 % (w/v) NaCl. The polar lipid profile of strain Y32 T consisted of diphosphatidylglycerol, phosphatidylglycerol, phosphatidylinositol and two phosphatidylinositol mannosides. Strain Y32 T contained MK-8(H 4 ) and MK-7(H 4 ) as the major components of the menaquinone system, and anteiso-C 15 : 0 , iso-C 15 : 0 and iso-C 14 : 0 as the predominant fatty acids. Galactose was detected as the cell-wall sugar. The G+C content of the DNA was 71.2 mol%. Based on the results of phenotypic, genotypic and phylogenetic analyses, it is considered that strain Y32
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.
