The 16S Rrna Gene

A lemon-shaped marine bacterium, strain CL-SP20T, isolated from hypersaline water from a solar saltern in Korea, was characterized in terms of its physiological and biochemical features, its fatty acid profile and its phylogenetic position based on 16S rRNA gene sequences. Analysis of the 16S rRNA gene sequence revealed a clear affiliation with the Roseobacter lineage (91.0–96.3 % similarity) of the family Rhodobacteraceae. However, strain CL-SP20T did not form a robust clade with any species of the Roseobacter clade, forming a distinct subline. Strain CL-SP20T is non-motile and forms beige colonies on marine agar. The strain is able to grow with sea salts at concentrations in the range 1–10 %, with optimal growth between 5 and 6 %. It grows at temperatures in the range 15–40 °C and at pH 6–10. The strain cannot oxidize thiosulfate. The fatty acids are dominated by 18 : 1ω7c (54.3 %) and 19 : 0 cyclo ω8c (20.4 %). The DNA G+C content is 67.3 mol%. According to the physiological data, fatty acid composition and phylogenetic analysis of the 16S rRNA gene sequence, strain CL-SP20T represents a novel species in a novel genus of the family Rhodobacteraceae, for which the name Citreimonas salinaria gen. nov., sp. nov. is proposed. The type strain of Citreimonas salinaria is CL-SP20T (=KCCM 42116T=JCM 13036T).

A Gram-staining-positive, non-motile, strictly aerobic, non-spore-forming, vibrio-shaped bacterial strain, CL-TW6T, was isolated from a reservoir seawater sample from a solar saltern in Korea. Analysis of the 16S rRNA gene sequence of strain CL-TW6T revealed a clear affiliation with the family Microbacteriaceae . Strain CL-TW6T showed the closest phylogenetic relationships with the genera Yonghaparkia and Microcella , with 16S rRNA gene sequence similarity of 94.8–95.3 %. The strain grew in the presence of 1–9 % sea salts, at 15–35 °C and at pH 7.0–9.0. The major cellular fatty acids of strain CL-TW6T were anteiso-C15 : 0 (32.6 %), iso-C16 : 0 (20.4 %), iso-C15 : 0 (13.2 %) and iso-C14 : 0 (11.8 %) and the major menaquinones were MK-9 and MK-10. Cell-wall analysis showed that the peptidoglycan of strain CL-TW6T contained 2,4-diaminobutyric acid, alanine, glycine and glutamic acid. The major polar lipids were diphosphatidylglycerol and phosphatidylglycerol. The genomic DNA G+C content of strain CL-TW6T was 60.0 mol%. The combined phenotypic, chemotaxonomic and phylogenetic data showed clearly that strain CL-TW6T could be distinguished from members of the family Microbacteriaceae with validly published names. Thus, strain CL-TW6T should be classified as representing a novel genus and species in the family Microbacteriaceae , for which the name Pontimonas salivibrio gen. nov., sp. nov. is proposed. The type strain of Pontimonas salivibrio is CL-TW6T ( = KCCM 90105T  = JCM 18206T).

Physiological Evaluation

During the course of a 16S rRNA gene sequence phylogenetic evaluation of putative Glycomyces strains, it was noted that strain NRRL B-16338T is phylogenetically nearest to the genus Glycomyces but apparently is not a member of this or any of the other currently described actinomycete genera. The strain was subjected to a polyphasic study using standard methods for chemotaxonomic, morphological and physiological evaluation. The strain exhibited chemotaxonomic characteristics distinct from Glycomyces in spite of having 16S rRNA gene sequence similarity of 92 % with the described species of this genus. The whole-cell sugar pattern of NRRL B-16338T consisted of ribose and inositol, with traces of arabinose and mannose. The phospholipids observed were phosphatidylglycerol and diphosphatidylglycerol and menaquinones consisting of MK-10(H4), MK-10(H6), MK-11(H4) and MK-11(H6). A significant quantity (14·5 %) of 17 : 0 anteiso 2-hydroxy fatty acid was observed in the fatty acid profile of this strain. These characteristics clearly differentiate NRRL B-16338T from members of the genus Glycomyces and it is proposed that the strain represents a new genus within the family Glycomycetaceae to be called Stackebrandtia gen. nov. The description of this family is emended to permit its inclusion. It is proposed that the type species of the genus should be named Stackebrandtia nassauensis. The type strain LLR-40K-21T (=NRRL B-16338T=DSM 44728T) was isolated from a soil sample from Nassau, Bahamas.

A rod-shaped marine bacterium, CL-TA03T, isolated from a biofilm in a coastal fish farm in Tongyeong, Korea, was characterized for physiological and biochemical features, fatty acid profile and phylogenetic position based on 16S rRNA gene sequences. Analysis of the 16S rRNA gene sequence revealed a clear affiliation with the family Rhodobacteraceae. Phylogenetic analysis of the 16S rRNA gene sequence showed that the closest relatives of CL-TA03T were Thalassobius gelatinovorus and Thalassobius mediterraneus (95.6 % similarity). The sequence similarities between CL-TA03T and other type species of the Roseobacter lineage ranged from 92.4 to 95.4 %. Strain CL-TA03T is motile and grows on marine agar as colourless or beige colonies. The strain is able to grow optimally in the range of 3–5 % sea salts. It grows within a temperature range of 15–35 °C and at pH 6–10. The fatty acids are dominated by 18 : 1ω7c (64.1 %) and 11-methyl 18 : 1ω7c (10.6 %). The DNA G+C content is 57.2 mol%. According to physiological data, fatty acid composition and phylogenetic analysis of the 16S rRNA gene sequence, CL-TA03T is considered to represent a new genus in the family Rhodobacteraceae and the name Shimia marina gen. nov., sp. nov. is proposed. The type strain of Shimia marina is CL-TA03T (=KCCM 42117T=JCM 13038T).

A halophilic non-spore-forming bacterium of the γ-Proteobacteria, designated strain BH030046T, was isolated from a solar saltern in Korea. Cells were Gram-negative, chemoheterotrophic, short rod-shaped and motile with a polar flagellum. Comparative 16S rRNA gene sequence analysis revealed that strain BH030046T formed a distinct lineage in the family Alteromonadaceae and was distinguished from its closest related genera Alteromonas (91·4–94·8 %), Aestuariibacter (92·1–93·5 %) and Glaciecola (92·1–93·5 %) on the basis of low 16S rRNA gene sequence similarities. Physiological and biochemical data also showed that the isolate was different from members of these three genera. The predominant cellular fatty acids were C16 : 0 and C18 : 1 ω7c. DNA G+C content was 48 mol% and the major isoprenoid quinone was Q-8. The strain grew optimally at 30–35 °C, pH 7·0–8·0 and 2–5 % NaCl. On the basis of physiological and molecular properties, strain BH030046T (=KCTC 12239T=DSM 16280T) represents a novel genus and species in the family Alteromonadaceae, for which the name Salinimonas chungwhensis gen. nov., sp. nov. is proposed.

Thirteen bacterial isolates from lake sediment, capable of degrading cyanobacterial hepatotoxins microcystins and nodularin, were characterized by phenotypic, genetic and genomic approaches. Cells of these isolates were Gram-negative, motile by means of a single polar flagellum, oxidase-positive, weakly catalase-positive and rod-shaped. According to phenotypic characteristics (carbon utilization, fatty acid and enzyme activity profiles), the G+C content of the genomic DNA (66·1–68·0 mol%) and 16S rRNA gene sequence analysis (98·9–100 % similarity) the strains formed a single microdiverse genospecies that was most closely related to Roseateles depolymerans (95·7–96·3 % 16S rRNA gene sequence similarity). The isolates assimilated only a few carbon sources. Of the 96 carbon sources tested, Tween 40 was the only one used by all strains. The strains were able to mineralize phosphorus from organic compounds, and they had strong leucine arylamidase and chymotrypsin activities. The cellular fatty acids identified from all strains were C16 : 0 (9·8–19 %) and C17 : 1 ω7c (<1–5·8 %). The other predominant fatty acids comprised three groups: summed feature 3 (<1–2·2 %), which included C14 : 0 3-OH and C16 : 1 iso I, summed feature 4 (54–62 %), which included C16 : 1 ω7c and C15 : 0 iso OH, and summed feature 7 (8·5–28 %), which included ω7c, ω9c and ω12t forms of C18 : 1. A more detailed analysis of two strains indicated that C16 : 1 ω7c was the main fatty acid. The phylogenetic and phenotypic features separating our strains from recognized bacteria support the creation of a novel genus and species, for which the name Paucibacter toxinivorans gen. nov., sp. nov. is proposed. The type strain is 2C20T (=DSM 16998T=HAMBI 2767T=VYH 193597T).

A slightly thermophilic, Gram-staining-negative and strictly aerobic bacteria, designated strain YIM 78141T, was isolated from a sediment sample collected at Hehua hot spring, Tengchong, Yunnan province, south-west China. Cells of the strain were short-rod-shaped and colonies were yellowish and circular. The strain grew at pH 6.0–10.0 (optimum, pH 8.0–9.0) and 10–55 °C (optimum, 40–50 °C). Phylogenetic analyses based on 16S rRNA gene sequence comparison demonstrated that strain YIM 78141T belongs to the family Neisseriaceae , and strain YIM 78141T also showed low levels of 16S rRNA gene sequence similarity (below 93.4 %) with all other genera in this family. The only quinone was ubiquinone 8 and the genomic DNA G+C content was 67.3 mol%. Major fatty acids (>5 %) were C12 : 0, C16 : 0, C18 : 1ω7c and summed feature 3. The polar lipids consisted of diphosphatidylglycerol, phosphatidylethanolamine, phosphatidylmethylethanolamine, phospholipids of unknown structure containing aminoglycophospholipid and three unidentified polar lipids. On the basis of the morphological, physiological and biochemical characteristics as well as genotypic data, this strain should be classified as a representative of a novel genus and species of the family Neisseriaceae , for which the name Crenobacter luteus gen. nov., sp. nov. is proposed. The type strain is YIM 78141T ( = BCRC 80650T = KCTC 32558T = DSM 27258T).
