A Gram-stain-negative, aerobic, heterotrophic and salt-tolerant bacterium, designated strain LL-001(T), was isolated from a deep subseafloor sediment in Japanese waters. Cells were non-motile rods and colonies were smooth, convex, circular and vermilion. The conditions for growth were 15-35 °C, pH 5.5-7.5 and 1-8â% (w/v) NaCl. Phylogenetic analysis based on 16S rRNA gene sequences confirmed that strain LL-001(T) belonged to the genus Loktanella within the family Rhodobacteraceae of the class Alphaproteobacteria. 16S rRNA gene sequence similarity between strain LL-001(T) and members of the genus Loktanella was 94.5-98.5â%; the highest sequence similarity was with Loktanella hongkongensis UST950701-009P(T). DNA-DNA relatedness between strain LL-001(T) and L. hongkongensis UST950701-009P(T) was 41.5-43.6â%. The DNA G+C content of strain LL-001(T) was 69.3 mol%. On the basis of biochemical features and 16S rRNA gene sequence comparison, strain LL-001(T) is considered to represent a novel species of the genus Loktanella, for which the name Loktanella cinnabarina sp. nov. is proposed. The type strain is LL-001(T) (â=âJCM 18161(T)â=âCECT 8072(T)). The description of the genus Loktanella is also emended.
