A marine bacterial strain, designated GM2-18T, was isolated from mangrove sediment sampled at Luoyang River estuary, Quanzhou, PR China. Cells were Gram-stain-negative, slightly curved long rod-shaped and facultatively anaerobic with no flagellum. Catalase activity was found to be weak-positive and oxidase-positive. It had no ability to degrade or hydrolyse substrates including skimmed milk, cellulose, starch and Tweens (40, 60 and 80). The 16S rRNA gene sequence of strain GM2-18T had maximum similarity values to ‘ Draconibacterium filum ’ F2T, Draconibacterium sediminis JN14CK-3T and Draconibacterium orientale FH5T of 98.0, 97.8 and 97.4 %, respectively. Phylogenetic analysis based on 16S rRNA gene sequences indicated that strain GM2-18T was affiliated to the genus Draconibacterium and formed a clade with an uncultured bacterium clone identified from mangrove environment. Average nucleotide identity values and DNA–DNA hybridization estimates of strain GM2-18T compared to its Draconibacterium relatives strongly supported that it belonged to a new species. The respiratory quinone was menaquinone MK-7. The major fatty acids (>10 %) consisted of iso-C15 : 0, anteiso-C15 : 0 and C17 : 1  ω6c. The polar lipids were phosphatidylethanolamine, a phospholipid and several unidentified lipids. The genomic size of strain GM2-18T was 5.9 Mb and the G+C content was 40.8 mol%. Gene prediction and annotation of strain GM2-18T indicated that there was a nitrogen-fixing gene cluster encoding nitrogenase molybdenum-iron protein and related proteins responsible for nitrogen fixation. Based on the above characteristics, strain GM2-18T represents a novel species within the genus Draconibacterium . Thus, Draconibacterium mangrovi sp. nov. is proposed with type strain GM2-18T (=MCCC 1K04382T=KCTC 72879T), isolated from mangrove sediment.

Degrading Bacterium

A Gram-stain-negative, aerobic, motile, short-rod-shaped bacterium with nicosulfuron-degrading ability, designated strain LAM1902T, was isolated from a microbial consortium enriched with nicosulfuron as a sole nitrogen and energy source. The optimal temperature and pH for growth of strain LAM1902T were 30 °C and pH 6.0, respectively. Strain LAM1902T could grow in the presence of NaCl with concentration up to 4.0 % (w/v). Comparative analysis of 16S rRNA gene sequences revealed that LAM1902T was closely related to the members of the family Pseudomonadaceae to the genus Pseudomonas , with the highest similarity to Pseudomonas nitroreducens DSM 14399T (99.6 %), Pseudomonas nitritireducens WZBFD3-5A2T (99.3 %) and Pseudomonas panipatensis Esp-1T (98.8 %). Multi-locus sequence analysis based on both concatenated sequences of the 16S rRNA gene and three housekeeping genes (gyrB, rpoB and rpoD) further confirmed the intrageneric phylogenetic position of strain LAM1902T. The genomic DNA G+C content of LAM1902T was 64.8 mol%. The low values of in silico DNA–DNA hybridization (less than 43.7 %) and average nucleotide identity (less than 90.9 %) also showed that the strain was distinctly different from known species of the genus Pseudomonas . The major fatty acids were C16 : 0, C17 : 0 cyclo and anteiso C15 : 0. Ubiquinone Q-9 was detected as the predorminant respiratory quinone. The major polar lipids were diphosphatidylglycerol, phosphatidylglycerol, phosphatidylethanolamine and aminophospholipid. Based on phylogenetic, phenotypic and chemotaxonomic analyses and genome comparisons, we conclude that strain LAM1902T represents a novel species, for which the name Pseudomonas nicosulfuronedens sp. nov. is proposed. The type strain is LAM1902T (=JCM 33860T=KCTC 72830T).
