Corynebacterium maris sp. nov., a marine bacterium isolated from the mucus of the coral Fungia granulosa

The Family Corynebacteriaceae

“…Other Corynebacterium species have been described as being recovered from food products or from the environment, such as soil, water, marine ecosystems, or plant surfaces: Corynebacterium callunae from heather (Yamada and Komagata 1972;Bernard and Funke 2012); Corynebacterium casei from the surface of smear-ripened cheeses Mounier et al 2005); Corynebacterium deserti from a mixed sand sample collected in a desert in the west of China (Zhou et al 2012); Corynebacterium doosanense from activated sludge taken from a wastewater treatment plant in Yeongdeuk-gun, Republic of Korea (Lee et al 2009); Corynebacterium efficiens from soil, vegetables, and onion bulbs (Fudou et al 2002); Corynebacterium flavescens from dairy products (Bernard and Funke 2012); Corynebacterium glaucum from a cosmetic dye (Yassin et al 2003); Corynebacterium glutamicum from soil contaminated with bird feces, sewage, manure, vegetables, and fruits (Abe et al 1967;Liebl 2005); Corynebacterium halotolerans from a saline soil sample that was collected in Xinjiang Province, China (Chen et al 2004); Corynebacterium humireducens from the anode of a microbial fuel cell fed with artificial wastewater (Wu et al 2011); Corynebacterium lubricantis from a coolant lubricant ); Corynebacterium marinum from coastal sediment close to a coal-fired power station in Qingdao, China (Du et al 2010); Corynebacterium maris from the mucus of the coral Fungia granulosa from northern Red Sea, Gulf of Eilat, Israel (Ben-Dov et al 2009); Corynebacterium nuruki from nuruk which is a Korean alcohol fermentation starter (Shin et al 2011a); Corynebacterium terpenotabidum from soil (Takeuchi et al 1999); and Corynebacterium variabile from the surface of smear-ripened cheeses Mounier et al 2005).…”

Infecção por Corynebacterium pseudotuberculosis em equinos: aspectos microbiológicos, clínicos e preventivos

“…A ocorrência deste gênero não está vinculada a uma localização geográfica em particular, nem mesmo a um número limitado de propriedades em uma determinada área (Woolcock et al 1979). Já foi isolada desde animais de produção a ambientes e seres que vivem em situações extremas, como areia de deserto (Zhou et al 2012), em solo salino (Chen et al 2004), em focas (Bauwens et al 1987, Collins et al 2004), de esfregaço de queijo curado (Brennan et al 2001), de corais marinhos (Ben-Dov et al 2009), de sedimentos costeiros (Du et al 2010) e até de combustível de origem microbiana (Wu et al 2011).…”

Genome sequence of the marine bacterium Corynebacterium maris type strain Coryn-1T (= DSM 45190T)

“…Strain Coryn-1 T (= DSM 45190 T ) is the type strain of the species Corynebacterium maris originally isolated from the mucus of the coral Fungia granulosa from the Gulf of Eilat (Red Sea, Israel) [1]. The genus Corynebacterium is comprised of Gram-positive bacteria with a high G+C content.…”

“…maris has been proposed to form a distinct lineage with C. halotolerans YIM 70093 T demonstrating 94% similarity related to the 16S rRNA gene sequences [1]. Similar to the closest phylogenetic relative C.…”
