Abstract:The Bacteroidota is one of the dominant bacterial phyla in corals. However, the exact taxa of those coral bacteria under the Bacteroidota are still unclear. Two aerobic, Gram-stain-negative, non-motile rods, designated strains BMA10T and BMA12T, were isolated from stony coral Porites lutea collected from Weizhou Island, PR China. Global alignment of 16S rRNA gene sequences indicated that both strains are closest to species of Fulvivirga with the highest identities being lower than 93 %, and the similarity valu… Show more
