RESUMEN

Microorganisms are important sources of bioactive natural products. However, the complexity of microbial metabolites and the low abundance of active compounds render the isolation and purification process laborious and inefficient. During our search for active substances capable of inhibiting the newly discovered highly lethal Vibrio strain vp-HL, we found that the fermentation broth of multiple Bacillus strains exhibited antibacterial activity. However, the substances responsible for the activity remained unclear. Metabolomics, molecular networking (MN), and the Structural similarity Network Annotation Platform for Mass Spectrometry (SNAP-MS) were employed in conjunction with bioactivity screening to predict the antibacterial compounds from Bacillus strains. The analysis of fractions, and their isolation, NMR-based annotation, and bioactivity evaluation of an amicoumacin compound partially confirmed the prediction from these statistical analyses. This work presents the potential of marine Bacillus in producing active substances against Vibrio species. Additionally, it highlighted the significance and feasibility of metabolomics and MN in the dereplication of compounds and the determination of isolation targets.

RESUMEN

Microbes are thought to be distributed and circulated around the world, but the connection between marine and terrestrial microbiomes remains largely unknown. We use Plantibacter, a representative genus associated with plants, as our research model to investigate the global distribution and adaptation of plant-related bacteria in plant-free environments, particularly in the remote Southern Ocean and the deep Atlantic Ocean. The marine isolates and their plant-associated relatives shared over 98% whole-genome average nucleotide identity (ANI), indicating recent divergence and ongoing speciation from plant-related niches to marine environments. Comparative genomics revealed that the marine strains acquired new genes via horizontal gene transfer from non-Plantibacter species and refined existing genes through positive selection to improve adaptation to new habitats. Meanwhile, marine strains retained the ability to interact with plants, such as modifying root system architecture and promoting germination. Furthermore, Plantibacter species were found to be widely distributed in marine environments, revealing an unrecognized phenomenon that plant-associated microbiomes have colonized the ocean, which could serve as a reservoir for plant growth-promoting microbes. This study demonstrates the presence of an active reservoir of terrestrial plant growth-promoting bacteria in remote marine systems and advances our understanding of the microbial connections between plant-associated and plant-free environments at the genome level.

RESUMEN

Three Gram-stain-negative, aerobic, non-motile, chemoheterotrophic, short-rod-shaped bacteria, designated CDY1-MB1T, CDY2-MB3, and BDY3-MB2, were isolated from three marine sediment samples collected in the eastern Pacific Ocean. Phylogenetic analysis based on 16S rRNA gene sequences indicated that these strains were related to the genus Aequorivita and close to the type strain of Aequorivita vitellina F4716T (with similarities of 98.0-98.1%). Strain CDY1-MB1T can grow at 15-37 °C (optimum 30 °C) and in media with pH 6-9 (optimum, pH 7), and tolerate up to 10% (w/v) NaCl. The predominant cellular fatty acids of strain CDY1-MB1T were iso-C15 : 0 (20.7%) and iso-C17 : 0 3-OH (12.8%); the sole respiratory quinone was menaquinone 6; the major polar lipids were phosphatidylethanolamine, two unidentified aminolipids and two unidentified polar lipids. The digital DNA-DNA hybridization/average nucleotide identity values between strains CDY1-MB1T, CDY2-MB3, and BDY3-MB2 and A. vitellina F4716T were 24.7%/81.6-81.7%, thereby indicating that strain CDY1-MB1T should represent a novel species of the genus Aequorivita. The genomic DNA G+C contents were 37.6 % in all three strains. Genomic analysis showed the presence of genes related to nitrogen and sulphur cycling, as well as metal reduction. The genetic traits of these strains indicate their possible roles in nutrient cycling and detoxification processes, potentially shaping the deep-sea ecosystem's health and resilience. Based upon the consensus of phenotypic and genotypic analyses, strain CDY1-MB1T should be classified as a novel species of the genus Aequorivita, for which the name Aequorivita flava sp. nov. is proposed. The type strain is CDY1-MB1T (=MCCC 1A16935T=KCTC 102223T).

RESUMEN

Two Gram-stain-negative bacterial strains, 15-R06ZXC-3T and R06B22T, were isolated from the surface sediment of the Arctic Ocean. Phylogenetic analyses based on the 16S rRNA gene and genome sequences indicated that strain 15-R06ZXC-3T belongs to the genus Thioclava, while strain R06B22T belongs to the genus Zhongshania. Strain 15-R06ZXC-3T showed the closest relationship to Thioclava indica DT23-4T. The digital DNA-DNA hybridization (dDDH) and average nucleotide identity (ANI) values between strain 15-R06ZXC-3T and all of the type strains of the genus Thioclava ranged from 20.8 to 30.4% and 79.1 to 85.7%, respectively. Strain R06B22T was most closely related to Zhongshania marina DSW25-10T. The dDDH and ANI values between strain R06B22T and all of the type strains of the genus Zhongshania ranged from 18.6 to 20.4% and 77.5 to 79.4%, respectively. These dDDH and ANI values were all below the standard cutoff criteria for the delineation of bacterial species, indicating that the two strains may represent novel species within their respective genera. Furthermore, their phenotypic and chemotaxonomic characteristics also differentiated them from closely related species. Based on the polyphasic analyses, strains 15-R06ZXC-3T and R06B22T separately represent novel species of the genera Thioclava and Zhongshania, for which the names Thioclava arctica sp. nov. (type strain 15-R06ZXC-3T = MCCC 1A07434T= KCTC 8342T) and Zhongshania arctica sp. nov. (type strain R06B22T = MCCC 1A08273T= KCTC 8343T) are proposed. Additionally, phylogenomic analyses showed that the strain Marortus luteolus ZX-21T was clustered with the strain Z. marina DSW25-10T and all other type strains of the genus Zhongshania. Furthermore, the ANI and dDDH values between strains ZX-21T and DSW25-10T were 97.6% and 78.8±2.5%, respectively, strongly indicating that they represented a single species. Therefore, it is proposed that M. luteolus Yu et al. 2019 be recognized as a later heterotypic synonym of Z. marina On et al. 2019.

RESUMEN

Ammonia removal by nitrifiers at the extremely high salinity poses a great challenge for saline wastewater treatment. Sequencing batch reactor (SBR) was conducted with a stepwise increase of salinity from 10 to 40 g-NaCl·L-1, while sequencing batch biofilm reactor (SBBR) with one-step salinity enhancement, their nitrification performance, microbial structure and interaction were evaluated. Both SBR and SBBR can achieve high-efficiency nitrification (98% ammonia removal) at 40 g-NaCl·L-1. However, SBBR showed more stable nitrification performance than SBR at 40 g-NaCl·L-1 after a shorter adaptation period of 4-15 d compared to previous studies. High-throughput sequencing and metagenomic analysis demonstrated that the abundance and capability of conventional ammonia-oxidizing bacteria (Nitrosomonas) were suppressed in SBBR relative to SBR. Gelidibacter, Anaerolineales were the predominant genus in SBBR, which were not found in SBR. NorB and nosZ responsible for reducing NO to N2O and reducing N2O to N2 respectively had s strong synergistic effect in SBBR. This study will provide a valuable reference for the startup of nitrification process within a short period of time under the extremely high NaCl salinity.

RESUMEN

A novel Paracoccus-related strain, designated YLB-12T, was isolated from a sediment sample from the tidal zone of Shapowei Port, Xiamen, Fujian Province, PR China. The novel strain is a Gram-stain-negative, short, rod-shaped, nonmotile, catalase- and oxidase-positive strain that grows at 10-37 °C and pH 5.0-9.0 in the presence of 0-12.0% (w/v) NaCl. Phylogenetic analysis of the 16S rRNA gene sequences indicated that this strain belongs to the genus Paracoccus and that its highest sequence similarity was to Paracoccus homiensis DD-R11T (98.5%), followed by Paracoccus zeaxanthinifaciens ATCC 21588T (97.4%), Paracoccus rhizosphaerae LMG 26205T (97.2%), Paracoccus beibuensis CGMCC 1.7295T (97.1%) and Paracoccus halotolerans CFH 90064T (97.0%). The DNA‒DNA hybridization values between strain YLB-12T and the five closely related type strains ranged from 20.4 to 22.4%. The genomic G+C content of strain YLB-12T was 63.7%. In addition to diphosphatidylglycerol, phosphatidylethanolamine, phosphatidylcholine and phosphatidylglycerol, the polar lipids of the strain YLB-12T also consisted of an unidentified glycolipid and four unidentified polar lipids. The cells contained summed feature 8 (C18: 1ω6c /C18: 1ω7c, 62.7%) as the major cellular fatty acid and ubiquinone-10 as the predominant menaquinone. On the basis of its phenotypic and genotypic characteristics, strain YLB-12T represents a novel species within the genus Paracoccus, for which the name Paracoccus maritimus sp. nov. is proposed. The type strain was YLB-12T (= MCCC 1A17213T = KCTC 82197T).

RESUMEN

Sponges are a vital source of pharmaceutically active secondary metabolites, of which the main structural types are alkaloids and terpenoids. Many of these compounds exhibit biological activities. Focusing specifically on diterpenoids, this article reviews the structures and biological activities of 228 diterpenes isolated from more than 33 genera of sponges from 2009 to 2022. The Spongia sponges produce the most diterpenoid molecules among all genera, accounting for 27%. Of the 228 molecules, 110 exhibit cytotoxic, antibacterial, antifungal, antiparasitic, anti-inflammatory, and antifouling activities, among others. The most prevalent activity is cytotoxicity, present in 54 molecules, which represent 24% of the diterpenes reported. These structurally and biologically diverse diterpenoids highlight the vast, yet largely untapped, potential of marine sponges in the discovery of new bioactive molecules for medicinal use.

RESUMEN

Three novel meroterpenoids, taladrimanins B-D (1-3), were isolated from the marine-derived fungus Talaromyces sp. M27416, alongside three biogenetically related compounds (4-6). We delineated taladrimanin B's (1) structure using HRESIMS and NMR, confirmed its configuration via quantum chemical NMR analysis and DP4+ methodology, and verified it through X-ray crystallography. ECD calculations determined the absolute configuration of compound 1, while comparative NMR and ECD analyses elucidated the absolute configurations of 2 and 3. These compounds are drimane-type meroterpenoids with a C10 polyketide unit (8R-configuration). We proposed a biosynthetic pathway and noted that compound 1 showed cytotoxic activity against MKN-45 and 5637 cell lines and selective antibacterial effects against Staphylococcus aureus CICC 10384.

RESUMEN

Talaromyces, a filamentous fungus widely distributed across terrestrial and marine environments, can produce a diverse array of natural products, including alkaloids, polyketones, and polyketide-terpenoids. Among these, chrodrimanins represented a typical class of natural products. In this study, we isolated three previously undescribed pentaketide-sesquiterpenes, 8,9-epi-chrodrimanins (1-3), along with eight known compounds (4-11). The structures of compounds 1-3 were elucidated using nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) and mass spectrometry (MS), while their absolute configurations were determined through X-ray crystallography and electronic circular dichroism (ECD) computations. The biosynthetic pathways of compounds 1-3 initiate with 6-hydroxymellein and involve multiple stages of isoprenylation, cyclization, oxidation, and acetylation. We selected four strains of gastrointestinal cancer cells for activity evaluation. We found that compound 3 selectively inhibited MKN-45, whereas compounds 1 and 2 exhibited no significant inhibitory activity against the four cell lines. These findings suggested that 8,9-epi-chrodrimanins could serve as scaffold compounds for further structural modifications, potentially leading to the development of targeted therapies for gastric cancer.

RESUMEN

One novel bisabolane-derived sesquiterpenoid retrobisabolane A (1), featuring a methyl group location at the C-4 position instead of C-3 in the bisabolanes, and a known ester-substituted eremophilane-type sesquiterpenoid cryptosphaerolide (2), along with three known indole alkaloids (3-5) were discovered from the fermented cultures of a deep-sea-derived fungus Retroconis fusiformis MCCC 3A00792. The planar structure of new compound 1 was determined by extensive analysis of the NMR and HRESIMS spectra. The relative and absolute configurations of 1 were resolved by the coupling constant (J), calculation of ECD and NMR spectra, and the DP4+ probability analysis of the 1H and 13C NMR data. Interestingly, retrobisabolane A was the new subclass of bisabolanes bearing a methyl group linkage at C-4 instead of C-3 position. Three human cancer cell lines (Hela, AGS, and BIU-87) were subjected to evaluate the cytotoxic activities of compounds 1-5. As a result, compound 2 exhibited significant inhibitory activities against three cell lines with IC50 values ranging from 9.95 to 18.77 µM.

RESUMEN

Plastic production has increased dramatically, leading to accumulated plastic waste in the ocean. Marine plastics can be broken down into microplastics (<5 mm) by sunlight, machinery, and pressure. The accumulation of microplastics in organisms and the release of plastic additives can adversely affect the health of marine organisms. Biodegradation is one way to address plastic pollution in an environmentally friendly manner. Marine microorganisms can be more adapted to fluctuating environmental conditions such as salinity, temperature, pH, and pressure compared with terrestrial microorganisms, providing new opportunities to address plastic pollution. Pseudomonadota (Proteobacteria), Bacteroidota (Bacteroidetes), Bacillota (Firmicutes), and Cyanobacteria were frequently found on plastic biofilms and may degrade plastics. Currently, diverse plastic-degrading bacteria are being isolated from marine environments such as offshore and deep oceanic waters, especially Pseudomonas spp. Bacillus spp. Alcanivoras spp. and Actinomycetes. Some marine fungi and algae have also been revealed as plastic degraders. In this review, we focused on the advances in plastic biodegradation by marine microorganisms and their enzymes (esterase, cutinase, laccase, etc.) involved in the process of biodegradation of polyethylene terephthalate (PET), polystyrene (PS), polyethylene (PE), polyvinyl chloride (PVC), and polypropylene (PP) and highlighted the need to study plastic biodegradation in the deep sea.

RESUMEN

Two new phenylspirodrimanes, stachybotrins K and L (1 and 2), together with eight known analogues (3-10), were isolated from deep-sea-derived Stachybotrys sp. MCCC 3A00409. Their structures were determined by extensive NMR data and mass spectroscopic analysis. Absolute configurations of new compounds were determined through a comparison of their circular dichroism (CD) spectra with other reported compounds. The possible reversal effects of all compounds were assayed in the resistant cancer cell lines. Stachybotrysin B (8) can reverse multidrug resistance (MDR) in ABCB1-overexpression cells (KBv200, Hela/VCR) at the non-cytotoxic concentration. Doxorubicin accumulation assay and molecular-docking analysis reveal that the mechanism of its reversal MDR effect may be related to the increase in the intracellular concentration of substrate anticancer drugs.

RESUMEN

The globally widespread genus Sulfurimonas are playing important roles in different habitats, including the deep-sea hydrothermal vents. However, phages infecting Sulfurimonas have never been isolated and characterized to date. In the present study, a novel prophage SNW-1 was identified from Sulfurimonas indica NW79. Whole genome sequencing resulted in a circular, double-stranded DNA molecule of 37,096 bp with a mol% G+C content of 37. The genome includes 64 putative open reading frames, 33 of which code for proteins with predicted functions. Presence of hallmark genes associated with Caudoviricetes and genes involved in lysis and lysogeny indicated that SNW-1 should be a temperate, tailed phage. Phylogenetic and comparative proteomic analyses suggested that Sulfurimonas phage SNW-1 was distinct from other double stranded DNA phages and might represent a new viral genus.

RESUMEN

Plitidepsin (or dehydrodidemnin B), an approved anticancer drug, belongs to the didemnin family of cyclic depsipeptides, which are found in limited quantities in marine tunicate extracts. Herein, we introduce a new approach that integrates microbial and chemical synthesis to generate plitidepsin and its analogues. We screened a Tistrella strain library to identify a potent didemnin B producer, and then introduced a second copy of the didemnin biosynthetic gene cluster into its genome, resulting in a didemnin B titer of approximately 75 mg/L. Next, we developed two straightforward chemical strategies to convert didemnin B into plitidepsin, one of which involved a one-step synthetic route giving over 90 % overall yield. Furthermore, we synthesized 13 new didemnin derivatives and three didemnin probes, enabling research into structure-activity relationships and interactions between didemnin and proteins. Our study highlights the synergistic potential of biosynthesis and chemical synthesis in overcoming the challenge of producing complex natural products sustainably and at scale.

RESUMEN

BACKGROUND: Genome-scale phylogenetic analysis based on core gene sets is routinely used in microbiological research. However, the techniques are still not approachable for individuals with little bioinformatics experience. Here, we present EasyCGTree, a user-friendly and cross-platform pipeline to reconstruct genome-scale maximum-likehood (ML) phylogenetic tree using supermatrix (SM) and supertree (ST) approaches. RESULTS: EasyCGTree was implemented in Perl programming languages and was built using a collection of published reputable programs. All the programs were precompiled as standalone executable files and contained in the EasyCGTree package. It can run after installing Perl language environment. Several profile hidden Markov models (HMMs) of core gene sets were prepared in advance to construct a profile HMM database (PHD) that was enclosed in the package and available for homolog searching. Customized gene sets can also be used to build profile HMM and added to the PHD via EasyCGTree. Taking 43 genomes of the genus Paracoccus as the testing data set, consensus (a variant of the typical SM), SM, and ST trees were inferred via EasyCGTree successfully, and the SM trees were compared with those inferred via the pipelines UBCG and bcgTree, using the metrics of cophenetic correlation coefficients (CCC) and Robinson-Foulds distance (topological distance). The results suggested that EasyCGTree can infer SM trees with nearly identical topology (distance < 0.1) and accuracy (CCC > 0.99) to those of trees inferred with the two pipelines. CONCLUSIONS: EasyCGTree is an all-in-one automatic pipeline from input data to phylogenomic tree with guaranteed accuracy, and is much easier to install and use than the reference pipelines. In addition, ST is implemented in EasyCGTree conveniently and can be used to explore prokaryotic evolutionary signals from a different perspective. The EasyCGTree version 4 is freely available for Linux and Windows users at Github ( https://github.com/zdf1987/EasyCGTree4 ).

RESUMEN

PET plastic waste entering the oceans is supposed to take hundreds of years to degrade and tends to accumulate in the deep sea. However, we know little about the bacteria capable of plastic degradation therein. To determine whether PET-degrading bacteria are present in deep-sea sediment, we collected the samples from the eastern central Pacific Ocean and initiated microbial incubation with PET as the carbon source. After enrichment with PET for 2 years, we gained all 15 deep-sea sediment communities at five oceanic sampling sites. Bacterial isolation for pure culture and further growth tests confirmed that diverse bacteria possess degradation ability including Alcanivorax xenomutans BC02_1_A5, Marinobacter sediminum BC31_3_A1, Marinobacter gudaonensis BC06_2_A6, Thalassospira xiamenensis BC02_2_A1 and Nocardioides marinus BC14_2_R3. Furthermore, four strains were chosen as representatives to reconfirm the PET degradation capability by SEM, weight loss and UPLC-MS. The results showed that after 30-day incubation, 1.3%-1.8% of PET was lost. De-polymerization of PET by the four strains was confirmed by the occurrence of the PET monomer of MHET and TPA as the key degradation products. Bacterial consortia possessing PET-degrading potential are prevalent and diverse and might play a key role in the removal of PET pollutants in deep oceans.

RESUMEN

A novel Gram-stain-negative, catalase- and oxidase-positive, facultatively anaerobic, and rod-shaped motile bacterial strain, designated as YLB-11T, was isolated from seahorse intestine. The 16S rRNA gene sequencing analysis showed that YLB-11T was most closely related Vibrio mytili LMG 19157T (98.9 % nucleotide sequence identity). Phylogenetic analysis placed strain YLB-11T within the genus Vibrio. The major cellular fatty acids were summed feature 3 (C16: 1 ω6c/C16 : 1 ω7c, 36.4 %), C16 : 0 (19.1 %) and summed feature 8 (C18:1 ω6c/C18:1 ω7c, 12.3 %). The DNA G+C content of YLB-11T was 44.7 mol %. The in silico DNA-DNA hybridization and average nucleotide identity values for whole-genome sequence comparisons between YLB-11T and related species were clearly below the thresholds used for the delineation of a novel species. Therefore, YLB-11T is considered to represent novel species of the genus Vibrio, for which the name Vibrio intestinalis sp. nov. is proposed. The type strain is YLB-11T (=MCCC 1A17441T=KCTC 72604T).

RESUMEN

A novel marine bacterium designated strain PHK-P5T was isolated from a sea anemone (Actinostolidae sp. 1). Phylogenetic analysis based on 16S rRNA gene sequences indicated that strain PHK-P5T belonged to the genus Sneathiella. The bacterium was Gram-stain-negative, aerobic, oxidase- and catalase- positive, oval- to rod-shaped, and motile. Growth was observed at pH 6.0-9.0, salinities of 2.0-9.0 % and temperatures of 4-37 °C. The G+C content of the chromosomal DNA was 49.2 %. The respiratory quinone was determined to be Q-10. The principal fatty acids of strain PHK-P5T were C19 : 0cyclo ω8c (25.19 %), C16 : 0 (22.76 %), summed feature 8 (C18 : 1 ω7c/ω6c; 16.14 %), C14 : 0 (8.81 %), C17 : 0cyclo (8.10 %), summed feature 2 (C12 : 0 aldehyde and/or unknown 10.928; 7.19 %) and C18 : 1 ω7c 11-methyl (5.03 %). The major polar lipids were diphosphatidylglycerol, phosphatidylethanolamine and phosphatidylglycerol. The average nucleotide identity and digital DNA-DNA hybridization values among the genomes of strain PHK-P5T and the reference strains were 68.7-70.9 % and 17.4-18.1 %, respectively. The combined genotypic and phenotypic data showed that strain PHK-P5T represents a novel species within the genus Sneathiella, for which the name Sneathiella marina sp. nov. is proposed, with the type strain PHK-P5T (=MCCC M21824T=KCTC 82924T).

RESUMEN

Two Gram-stain-positive, facultatively anaerobic, motile, endospore-forming, rod-shaped bacteria, designated CLL-3-40T and CLL-7-23, were isolated from coastal sediment sampled in Changyi, Shandong Province, PR China. Phylogenetic analysis based on 16S rRNA gene sequences indicated that these strains were related to the genus Bacillus and close to six type strains of species within the Bacillus licheniformis group. In phenotypic characterization tests, strain CLL-3-40T could grow at 15-50 °C (optimum, 37 °C) and in media with pH 5-9 (optimum pH 7.0), and tolerate up to 12 % (w/v) NaCl. The fermentation broth supernatant extracted by ethyl acetate of strain CLL-3-40T could inhibit aquaculture pathogenic vibrios. The predominant cellular fatty acids of strain CLL-3-40T were anteiso-C15 : 0 (30.7 %) and iso-C15 : 0 (31.5 %); the peptidoglycan from cell-wall contained meso-diaminopimelic acid; the predominant quinone was menaquinone 7; and the major polar lipids were diphosphatidylglycerol, phosphatidylcholine, phosphatidylglycerol, phosphatidylethanolamine, an unidentified glycolipid and two unidentified phospholipids. The digital DNA-DNA hybridization values and average nucleotide identities among strains CLL-3-40T and CLL-7-23 and their close type strains were less than 21.9 and 48.4 %, respectively, thereby indicating that strain CLL-3-40T should represent a novel species of the genus Bacillus. The genomic DNA G+C contents were 38.4 mol% in strain CLL-3-40T and 38.3 mol% in strain CLL-7-23. The 12 biosynthetic gene clusters of strain CLL-3-40T were predicted based on results from the online server antiSMASH. Based upon the consensus of phenotypic and genotypic results, strain CLL-3-40T should be classified as representing a novel species of the genus Bacillus, for which the name Bacillus changyiensis sp. nov. is proposed. The type strain is CLL-3-40T (= MCCC 1A14857T=JCM 35755T).

RESUMEN

A novel Alcanivorax-related strain, designated 6-D-6T, was isolated from the surface seawater collected around Xiamen Island. The novel strain is Gram-stain-negative, rod-shaped and motile, and grows at 10-45 °C, pH 6.0-9.0 and in the presence of 0.5-15.0 % (w/v) NaCl. Phylogenetic analysis based on the 16S rRNA gene sequences indicated that it belongs to the genus Alcanivorax, with the highest sequence similarity to Alcanivorax dieselolei B5T (99.9 %), followed by Alcanivorax xenomutans JC109T (99.5 %), Alcanivorax balearicus MACL04T (99.3 %) and other 13 species of the genus Alcanivorax (93.8 %-95.6 %). The digital DNA-DNA hybridization and average nucleotide identity values between strain 6-D-6T and three close type strains were 40.1-42.9/90.6-91.4 %, and others were below 22.9/85.1 %, respectively. The novel strain contained major cellular fatty acids of C16 : 0 (31.0 %), C19 : 0 ω8c cyclo (23.5 %), C17 : 0 cyclo (9.7 %), C12 : 0 3OH (8.6 %), summed feature 8 (7.6 %) and C12 : 0 (5.4 %). The genomic G+C content of strain 6-D-6T was 61.38 %. Phosphatidylethanolamine, phosphatidylglycerol, diphosphatidylglycerol, two unidentified phospholipids and one amino-group-containing phospholipid were detected. On the basis of phenotypic and genotypic characteristics, strain 6-D-6T represents a novel species within the genus Alcanivorax, for which the name Alcanivorax xiamenensis sp. nov. is proposed. The type strain is 6-D-6T (=MCCC 1A01359T=KCTC 92480T).
