Marisediminitalea mangrovi gen. nov., sp. nov., isolated from marine mangrove sediment, and reclassification of Aestuariibacter aggregatus as Marisediminitalea aggregata comb. nov.

Kaustia mangrovi gen. nov., sp. nov. isolated from Red Sea mangrove sediments belongs to the recently proposed Parvibaculaceae family within the order Rhizobiales

“…It has been estimated that the bacteria in mangrove sediments constitute up to 80 % of the total living biomass of these ecosystems [13][14][15][16] and play a key role in their functioning [12]. However, relatively few studies have focused on the exploration and characterization of the microbial diversity of mangrove sediments [7,10,11,13,14,[17][18][19][20][21][22][23][24][25][26][27] and the cultivable fraction of microbes therein [28][29][30][31][32][33][34]. The cultivable bacterial strains obtained from mangrove sediments include members of well-characterized genera, such as Bacillus, Halobacillus, Microbacterium, Novosphingobium, Paracoccus, Streptomyces, Thalassotalea and Vibrio [30,33,[35][36][37][38][39], and several novel genera, including Acidimangrovimonas, Mangroviflexus, Mangrovibacterium, Marisediminitalea, Mangrovicoccus, Mangrovitalea, Mangrovimonas and Zhengella [32,34,[40][41][42][43][44][45]; these data clearly conf...…”

Ningiella ruwaisensis gen. nov., sp. nov., a member of the family Alteromonadaceae isolated from marine water of the Arabian Gulf

“…The family Alteromonadaceae within the Gammaproteobacteria is morphologically, metabolically and ecologically a diverse group of organisms and was first established by Ivanova and Mikhailov [1]. At the time of writing, the family consists of 24 genera with validly published names (www.bacterio.net) including Aestuariibacter [2], Agaribacter [3], Agarivorans [4], Aliagarivorans [5], Aliiglaciecola [6], Alishewanella [7], Alteromonas [1, 8], Bowmanella [9], Catenovulum [10], Glaciecola [11], Haliea [12], Mangrovitalea [13], Marinimicrobium [14], Marinobacter [15], Marinobacterium [16], Marisediminitalea [17], Melitea [18], Microbulbifer [16], Paraglaciecola [19], Planctobacterium [20], Pseudobowmanella [21], Saccharophagus [22], Salinimonas [23] and Tamiln...…”

“…Recently A. aggregatus was reclassified to the newly described genus Marisediminitalea [17] and shares only 93.2 % sequence similarity with strain B66 T . Members of Marisediminitalea do not cluster with the clade containing strain B66 T , Aestuariibacter and Planctobacterium .…”

In this research, we used an inoculum of sediments collected from the mangrove forest of Avicennia marina in the Ibn-Sina Research Station, King Abdullah University of Science and Technology (KAUST), Saudi Arabia, located on the coast of the Red Sea.…”
