“…Species in the genus Pseudoalteromonas, typically associated with eukaryotic hosts (Holmström & Kjelleberg, 1999), are frequently isolated from marine animals such as sponges (Ivanova et al, 2002b), tunicates (Holmström et al, 1998) and mussels (Ivanova et al, 1996(Ivanova et al, , 1998 and also from marine algae such as Ulva lactuca (Egan et al, 2001) and Laminaria japonica (Sawabe et al, 1998). Several species in the genus, such as Pseudoalteromonas luteoviolacea (Gauthier, 1982;Novick & Tyler, 1985), Pseudoalteromonas rubra (Gauthier, 1976), Pseudoalteromonas citrae (Gauthier, 1977), Pseudoalteromonas aurantia (Gauthier & Breittmayer, 1979) and Pseudoalteromonas peptidolytica (Venkateswaran & Dohmoto, 2000), were isolated from sea water. Members of Pseudoalteromonas are also known to be producers of bioactive substances (Holmström & Kjelleberg, 1999).…”

Four strains of aerobic, Gram-negative rods, motile by means of a single polar flagellum, that produced phenolic anti-methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) substances and brown-pigmented colonies, were isolated from sea water. The G+C content of the DNA ranged from 39?9 to 40?6 mol%. The isolates grew at 18-37˚C and pH 6?5-9?5 (optimal pH 7?5-9) and in medium containing 1-5 % (w/v) NaCl (optimal NaCl concentration 2-3?5 %). The isolates grew optimally in medium dissolved in 40-100 % artificial sea water. Based on 16S rDNA similarities, the novel strains were closely related to Pseudoalteromonas luteoviolacea and Pseudoalteromonas piscicida, with 96?3 and 95?7 % sequence similarity, respectively. However, the strains could be differentiated from P. lutioviolacea by seven traits and from P. piscicida by 10 traits. Analysis of DNA-DNA relatedness to these related species revealed low levels of DNA hybridization (19?6 % to P. luteoviolacea and 22?4 % to P. piscicida). However, the type strain, O-BC30 T , and the other three bacterial isolates showed high DNA relatedness to each other, ranging from 84?8 to 93?7 %. Based on the results of phenotypic characterization, phylogenetic analysis based on 16S rDNA sequences and DNA-DNA hybridization, it is concluded that these isolates represent a novel species in the genus Pseudoalteromonas. Because the type strain, O-BC30 T (=IAM 14989 T =KCTC 12086 T ), produces phenolic anti-MRSA substances, the name proposed for this novel species is Pseudoalteromonas phenolica sp. nov.

“…MATERIALS Strains 57, 201, 206, and 208 were obtained from surface seawater off Nice, France; the others were isolated from the surface of seaweeds (Ulua lactuca) harvested in the same area. All of the strains were isolated on marine agar (MA, Difco) and were selected for study on the basis of their antibiotic activity and their pigmentation, as previously described (13).…”
