A Gram-staining negative, aerobic, oval-shaped bacterium, designated strain PTG4-2T, was isolated from deep-sea sediment of the Indian Ocean. Growth was observed with 1–9 % (w/v) NaCl with optimal growth with 3 %, at pH 6.0–10.0 with an optimum of pH 7.0, and at 4–40 °C with an optimum of 30 °C. Positive for catalase and oxidase. The results of a 16S rRNA gene sequence comparison indicated that PTG4-2T was most closely related to Acuticoccus yangtzensis JL1095T (97.3 %), followed by Acuticoccus kandeliae J103T (96.5 %), all other species shared <93 % sequence similarity. The results of phylogenetic analysis based on 16S rRNA gene sequences indicated that PTG4-2T forms a distinct lineage within the genus Acuticoccus , and revealed that the genus Acuticoccus forms a novel family-level clade in the order Rhizobiales . The ANI and the DNA–DNA hybridization estimate values between PTG4-2T and two type strains (A. yangtzensis JL1095T and A. kandeliae J103T) were 79.9–76.2 % and 23.1–20.8 %, respectively. PTG4-2T contained Q-10 as the predominant ubiquinone. The principal fatty acids (>5 %) were summed feature 8 [C18 : 1 ω7c/ω6c (72.2 %)], C18 : 0 (8.4 %), C20 : 1 ω7c (6.4 %) and C16 : 0 (6.3 %). The polar lipids consisted of phosphatidylglycerol, three unidentified phospholipids, two unidentified glycolipids, one unidentified aminolipid and one unknown lipid. The DNA G+C content of PTG4-2T is 69.2 mol%. On the basis of the polyphasic taxonomic evidence presented in this study, PTG4-2T should be classified as representing a novel species of the genus Acuticoccus , for which the name Acuticoccus sediminis sp. nov. is proposed, with the type strain PTG4-2T (=MCCC 1A01274T=KCTC 52323T). In addition, a novel family, Acuticoccaceae fam. nov., is proposed to accommodate the genus Acuticoccus .

ABSTRACT Thalassospira xiamenensis strain MCCC 1A03042T was isolated from deep-sea sediment of the Indian Ocean, and it was characterized with heavy-metal arsenic tolerance. Here, we present the draft genome of strain MCCC 1A03042T, which contains 4,786,207 bp with a G+C content of 52.6% and 4,359 protein-coding genes.

Indonesia was recently ranked second on the list of countries producing plastic waste. Plastic can be degraded by thermal oxidation either with ultraviolet radiation and by mechanical to a very small size the size will be smaller. Degraded plastic with small sizes (<5 mm) measured has been micrometers known as microplastic. We took sediment samples on 07-18 May 2015 in EWIN 2015 cruise, which part of the contribution of Indonesian researchers for the International Indian Ocean Expedition-2 program, at 66.8 to 2182 m below sea level. Microplastic analysis from the sediment was carried out by using flotation methods. We found microplastic in 8 locations out of 10 sampling locations. We found 41 particles microplastic with a form of granules (35 particles) and fibers (6 particles). Most of microplastic particles were found at depths less than 500 m with 20 particles. The discovery of microplastic in the sediment from the sea of western Sumatra at a depth more than 2000 m, indicated that plastic, considered new developed materials (early nineteen centuries made), has invaded marine areas, including pristine areas. It confirms the statement that plastic waste has spread widely to different areas of the seas and oceans, including remote and mostly unknown areas such as the deep sea.

Abstract A halophilic, Gram-staining-negative, rod-shaped, flagellated and motile bacterium, strain QX-1T, was isolated from deep-sea sediment at a depth of 3332 m in the southwestern Indian Ocean. Strain QX-1T growth was observed at 4–50 °C (optimum 37 °C), pH 5.0–11.0 (optimum pH 7.0), 3%–25% NaCl (w/v; optimum 7%), and it did not grow without NaCl. A phylogenetic analysis based on the 16S rRNA gene placed strain QX-1T in the genus Halomonas and most closely related to Halomonas sulfidaeris (97.90%), Halomonas zhaodongensis (97.80%), Halomonas songnenensis (97.59%), Halomonas hydrothermalis (97.37%), Halomonas subterranea (97.25%), Halomonas salicampi (97.09%), and Halomonas arcis (97.01%). DNA–DNA hybridization (< 26.50%) and average nucleotide identity values (< 83.54%) between strain QX-1T and the related type strains meet the accepted criteria for a new species. The principal fatty acids (> 10%) of strain QX-1T are C16:0 (25.50%), C17:0 cyclo (14.02%), C19:0 cyclo ω8c (18.72%), and summed feature 8 (C18:1 ω7c and/or C18:1 ω6c, 18.08%). The polar lipids of strain QX-1T are mainly diphosphatidylglycerol, phosphatidylglycerol, phosphatidylethanolamine, unidentified phospholipid, unidentified aminophospholipid, and five unidentified lipids. The main respiratory quinone is Q-9. The G+C content of its chromosomal DNA is 54.4 mol%. Its fatty acid profile, respiratory quinones, and G+C content also support the placement of QX-1T in the genus Halomonas. These phylogenetic, phenotypic, and chemotaxonomic analyses indicate that QX-1T is a novel species, for which the name Halomonas maris is proposed. The type strain is QX-1T (=MCCC 1A17875T = KCTC 82198T = NBRC 114670T).
