A taxonomic study was carried out on a novel bacterial strain, designated B108T, which was isolated from a polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbon (PAH)-degrading consortium, enriched from deep-sea water of the Indian Ocean. The isolate was Gram-reaction-negative, rod-shaped and non-motile. Growth of strain B108T was observed in 1–15 % (w/v) NaCl and at 10–39 °C and it was unable to degrade Tween 80 or gelatin. 16S rRNA gene sequence comparisons showed that strain B108T was most closely related to Roseovarius halotolerans HJ50T (97.1 % sequence similarity), followed by Roseovarius pacificus 81-2T (96.6 %) and Roseovarius aestuarii SMK-122T (95.2 %); other species shared <95.0 % sequence similarity. DNA–DNA hybridization tests showed that strain B108T had a low DNA–DNA relatedness to R. halotolerans HJ50T and R. pacificus 81-2T (48±4 % and 44±5 %, respectively). The predominant fatty acids were C16 : 0, C16 : 0 2-OH, summed feature 8 (C18 : 1ω7c/ω6c) and C19 : 0ω8c cyclo, which accounted for 84.2 % of the total cellular fatty acids. The G+C content of the chromosomal DNA was 63.6 mol%. The major respiratory quinone was ubiquinone 10 (Q10). Phosphatidylcholine, phosphatidylglycerol, diphosphatidylglycerol, phosphatidylethanolamine and some unidentified compounds were detected. These characteristics were in good agreement with those of members of the genus Roseovarius. The pufLM gene was also detected. According to its morphology, physiology, fatty acid composition and phylogenetic position based on 16S rRNA sequence data, the novel strain most appropriately belongs to the genus Roseovarius but can be readily distinguished from known species of this genus. Therefore, strain B108T represents a novel species, of the genus Roseovarius, for which the name Roseovarius indicus sp. nov. is proposed. The type strain is B108T ( = 2PR52-14T  = CCTCC AB 208233T  = LMG 24622T  = MCCC 1A01227T).

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).

Degrading Bacteria

A taxonomic study was carried out on strain R8-12T, which was isolated from deep-sea water of the Indian Ocean during the screening of oil-degrading bacteria. The isolate was Gram-stain-negative, oxidase and catalase-positive. Growth was observed at salinities from 0.5 to 15 % (optimum 3 %), at pH from 6–10 (optimum 7–8) and at temperatures from 10 to 42 °C (optimum 28 °C). On the basis of 16S rRNA gene sequence similarity, strain R8-12T was shown to belong to the genus Alcanivorax and to be related to Alcanivorax venustensis DSM 13974T (97.2 %), A. dieselolei B-5T (95.0 %), A. balearicus MACL04T (94.6 %), A. hongdengensis A-11-3T (94.3 %), A. jadensis T9T (93.8 %), A. borkumensis SK2T (93.7 %) and A. pacificus W11-5T (93.7 %). The gyrB sequence similarities between R8-12T and other species of the genus Alcanivorax ranged from 77.9 % to 86.9 %. The major fatty acids were C16 : 0 (31.8 %), C18 : 1ω7c (20.3 %), C19 : 0ω8c cyclo (15.8 %) and summed feature 3 (C16 : 1ω6c and/or C16 : 1ω7c) (8.9 %). The polar lipids were phosphatidylglycerol (PG), phosphatidylethanolamine (PE), two aminolipids (AL1–AL2) and two phospholipids (PL1–PL2). Three alkane hydroxylase (alkB) genes were identified in the genome. The G+C content of the chromosomal DNA was 66.1 mol%. DNA–DNA hybridization showed that strain R8-12T and A. venustensis DSM 13974T had a DNA–DNA relatedness of 63±3 %. According to its phenotypic features and fatty acid composition as well as the 16S rRNA and gyrB gene sequences, the novel strain represents a member of the genus Alcanivorax , but could be easily distinguished from all other known species of the genus Alcanivorax described to date.

ABSTRACT A novel Rhodobacteraceae bacterium, strain W43T, was isolated from a deep-sea water sample from the New Britain Trench. Strain W43T exhibited the highest 16S rRNA gene sequence similarity of 96.5% to Sedimentitalea nanhaiensis DSM 24252T, Phaeobacter gallaeciensis DSM 26640T, Phaeobacter inhibens DSM 16374T, and Phaeobacter porticola P97T. Phylogenetic analysis of the 16S rRNA gene and phylogenomic analysis of the genome showed that strain W43T formed an independent monophyletic branch within the family Rhodobacteraceae. Strain W43T was Gram-stain-negative, rod-shaped, and grew optimally at 16–20°C, pH 6.5–7.0 and 2% (w/v) NaCl. The principal fatty acids were C18:1ω7c/C18:1ω6c, major respiratory quinone was ubiquinone-10 and predominant polar lipids were phosphatidylethanolamine, phosphatidylglycerol and diphosphatidylglycerol. The 5 080 916 bp long genome, comprising a circular chromosome and four plasmids, exhibits a G + C content of 55.9 mol%. The combined phenotypic, chemotaxonomic and molecular data show that strain W43T represents a novel species of a novel genus, for which the name Parasedimentitalea marina gen. nov. sp. nov. is proposed (type strain W43T = MCCC 1K03532T = KCTC 62635T).

A novel Gram-stain-negative, aerobic, motile by peritrichous flagella, oval to rod-shaped bacterium, designated strain 2CG4T, was isolated from a deep-sea water sample collected from the Northwest Indian Ocean. The results of phylogenetic analysis of both 16S rRNA gene and RpoC protein sequences indicated that this strain was affiliated with the genus Halovulum in the Amaricoccus clade of the family Rhodobacteraceae of the class Alphaproteobacteria , sharing 95.3 % similarity at the 16S rRNA gene sequence level with the type strain of Halovulum dunhuangense YYQ-30T, the only species in the genus Halovulum . The predominant fatty acids (>10 %) of 2CG4T were summed feature 8 (C18 : 1ω7c and/ or C18 : 1ω6c; 61.1 %) and cyclo-C19 : 0ω8c (15.6 %). The polar lipids of 2CG4T were phosphatidylethanolamine, phosphatidylmethylethanolamine, phosphatidylglycerol, diphosphatidylglycerol, phosphatidylcholine and sulfoquinovosyldiacylglycerol. The only isoprenoid quinone of 2CG4T was ubiquinone-10. The DNA G+C content of 2CG4T was determined to be 69.4 %. The central gene pufLM for the photosynthetic reaction was not detected. No growth occurred for 2CG4T in the absence of NaCl. On the basis of these data, it is concluded that the 2CG4T represents a novel species of the genus Halovulum , for which the name Halovulum marinum sp. nov. is proposed. The type strain is 2CG4T (=CGMCC 1.16468T=JCM 32611T).

A taxonomic study was carried out on a novel bacterial strain, designated C115T, isolated from a crude-oil-degrading consortium, enriched from deep-sea water of the Indian Ocean. Cells were Gram-negative short rods, mobile by means of a monopolar flagellum. Growth was observed at salinities of 0–7 % and at 10–43 °C. It was unable to degrade Tween 80 or gelatin. 16S rRNA gene sequence analysis showed that strain C115T was related most closely to Nitratireductor aquibiodomus NL21T (96.5 % similarity), Nitratireductor kimnyeongensis KY 101T (96.4 %) and Nitratireductor basaltis J3T (96.2 %). The predominant fatty acids were summed feature 8 (C18 : 1 ω7c and/or C18 : 1 ω6c, 81.8 %) and C18 : 0 (7.0 %). The G+C content of the chromosomal DNA of strain C115T was 59 mol%. Based on its morphology, physiology and fatty acid composition together with 16S rRNA gene sequence comparisons, the novel strain most appropriately belongs to the genus Nitratireductor, but can be distinguished readily from recognized species of the genus. Strain C115T is therefore considered to represent a novel species of the genus Nitratireductor, for which the name Nitratireductor indicus sp. nov. is proposed. The type strain is C115T (=RC92-7T =CCTCC AB 209298T =LMG 25540T =MCCC 1A01260T).
