A Gram-stain-negative, strictly aerobic, rod- or oval-shaped, motile, non-spore-forming bacterium, designated strain CC-AMHB-3T, was isolated from coastal surface seawater off Hualien, Taiwan. The novel strain showed high pairwise 16S rRNA gene sequence similarities to Ruegeria mobilis NBRC 101030T (96.5 %), Ruegeria scottomollicae LMG 24367T (96.4 %), Phaeobacter aquaemixtae SSK6-1T (96.2 %), Phaeobacter daeponensis TF-218T (96.2 %), Cribrihabitans marinus CZ-AM5T (96.1 %) and other species of the family Rhodobacteraceae (≤95.9 %). However, strain CC-AMHB-3T formed a distinct phyletic lineage associated with C. marinus CZ-AM5T during phylogenetic analyses. The polar lipid profile of strain CC-AMHB-3T included major amounts of diphosphatidylglycerol, phosphatidylglycerol and phosphatidylcholine; moderate amounts of phosphatidylethanolamine, an unidentified aminolipid, an unidentified phospholipid and an unidentified lipid; and trace amounts of an unidentified lipid and an unidentified phospholipid, which was qualitatively almost in line with that of C. marinus CZ-AM5T but remarkably distinct as compared with the type species of the genera Ruegeria ( Ruegeria atlantica JCM 21234T) and Phaeobacter ( Phaeobacter gallaeciensis JCM 21319T). In line with the fatty acid profile of C. marinus CZ-AM5T, the major (>5 % of total) fatty acids of strain CC-AMHB-3T were C18 : 1ω7c and/or C18 : 1ω6c (summed feature 8), 11-methyl C18 : 1ω7c and C16 : 0. The DNA G+C content was 66.7 mol%. Ubiquinone-10 (Q-10) was the sole respiratory quinone. Thus, based on the results of the polyphasic study presented here, strain CC-AMHB-3T is considered to represent a novel species of the genus Cribrihabitans , for which the name Cribrihabitans neustonicus sp. nov. is proposed; the type strain is CC-AMHB-3T ( = JCM 19537T = BCRC 80695T). In addition, an emended description of the genus Cribrihabitans is also proposed.

An asymptomatic, ophthalmoscopically visible proliferation affected the optic disc and nerve of two aged horses. The lesion consisted of an accumulation of foamy cells, histologically akin to fat cells, which contained an unidentified lipid-like material. The affected area and its environs were permeated by tortuous, thickened blood vessels with heavy deposits of collagen in their walls. The neuropathy is considered to be a storage disease, and although the product stored is unidentified, the lesion is similar to that of human xanthelasma. The neuropathy seems distinct from the exudative optic neuritis of horses that has been known since 1890.

1. Particulate enzyme systems have been prepared from Staphylococcus lactis I3 which effect the synthesis of wall teichoic acid (a polymer containing a repeating unit in which d-glycerol 1-phosphate is attached to the 4-position on N-acetylglucosamine 1-phosphate) from the nucleotide precursors CDP-glycerol and UDP-N-acetylglucosamine. By using nucleotides labelled with 32P and 14C it has been shown that the synthesis proceeds via lipid intermediates. 2. Two intermediates have been found. In one of these N-acetylglucosamine 1-phosphate is present, whereas in the other the repeating unit of the teichoic acid occurs. 3. The simultaneous formation of the teichoic acid, a poly-(N-acetylglucosamine 1-phosphate) and an unidentified lipid, together with the poor ability of most particulate systems to synthesize polymer and the instability of the lipid intermediates themselves, have interfered with pulse-labelling experiments. Nevertheless, the biosynthetic sequence has been elucidated. It is concluded that the intermediates are derivatives of undecaprenol phosphate.
