Erythrobacter aquimaris sp. nov., isolated from sea water of a tidal flat of the Yellow Sea in Korea

Abstract

Three Gram-negative, non-motile, non-spore-forming, slightly halophilic rods (strains SW-110 T , SW-116 and SW-140) were isolated from sea water of a tidal flat of the Yellow Sea in Korea and subjected to a polyphasic taxonomic study. The three isolates did not produce bacteriochlorophyll a and were characterized chemotaxonomically by having ubiquinone-10 as the predominant respiratory lipoquinone and C 18 : 1 v7c and C 17 : 1 v6c as the major fatty acids. The DNA G+C content of the three isolates was between 62?2 and 62?9 mol%.

“…Ubiquinone-10 is the major respiratory quinone. Most species in the family have been isolated from various aquatic environments such as freshwater, seawater, marine mats or sediment, a hot spring, seaweed, a starfish and coral (Shiba & Simidu, 1982; Fuerst et al, 1993;Yurkov et al, 1994; Hanada et al, 1997; Denner et al, 2002; Hiraishi et al, 2002;Rainey et al, 2003;Yoon et al, 2003Yoon et al, , 2004a Yoon et al, , b, 2005a Yoon et al, , b, 2006Ivanova et al, 2005;Kwon et al, 2007). This study focuses on the description of strain E4A9 T , isolated from a deep-sea sediment sample.…”

Erythrobacter luteolus sp. nov., isolated from a tidal flat of the Yellow Sea in Korea

“…The genus Erythrobacter was proposed by Shiba & Simidu (1982) and at the time of writing comprises seven species with validly published names: Erythrobacter longus (Shiba & Simidu, 1982), Erythrobacter litoralis (Yurkov et al, 1994), Erythrobacter citreus (Denner et al, 2002), Erythrobacter flavus (Yoon et al, 2003), Erythrobacter aquimaris (Yoon et al, 2004), Erythrobacter seohaensis (Yoon et al, 2005) and Erythrobacter gaetbuli (Yoon et al, 2005). The first two Erythrobacter species were orange-and red-or orangepigmented and contained bacteriochlorophyll a (BChl a) (Shiba & Simidu, 1982;Yurkov et al, 1994).…”

Complete Genome Sequence of Erythrobacter litoralis HTCC2594

“…Bchl a-containing marine Alphaproteobacteria, including Erythrobacter longus (15) and E. litoralis (15,20), and Gammaproteobacteria such as the OM60 clade (5) have been regarded as major players in aerobic anoxygenic phototrophy in the ocean (21). Among the Erythrobacter species, however, the recently reported six species (8,11,(17)(18)(19) lack Bchl a, and thus only two species, E. longus and E. litoralis, are considered to be aerobic, anoxygenic, phototrophic bacteria. Here we report the complete annotated genome sequence of E. litoralis HTCC2594, which is devoid of phototrophic potential.…”
