ABSTRACT
Phylogenetic and taxonomic characterization was performed for a bacterium, designated strain Q-192T, isolated from the surface of the green macroalga Halimeda sp., collected from the subtropical Ishigaki Island, Japan. The isolate was a polysaccharide-producing, Gram-stain-negative, aerobic, rod-shaped, motile bacterium with a polar flagellum. The isolate was slightly halophilic, required Na+, Mg2+ and Ca2+ ions for growth, but did not require growth factors. The only isoprenoid quinone was ubiquinone-8.The major cellular fatty acids were C18 1ω7c, C16 0 and C14 0. The main hydroxy fatty acid was C10 0 3-OH. The DNA G+C content was 45.9âmol%. Phylogenetic analysis of 16S rRNA gene sequences placed the isolate in the class Gammaproteobacteria. The phylogenetically closest relatives with validly published names were Pseudomaricurvus alkylphenolicus KU41GT, Teredinibacter turnerae T7902T, Pseudoteredinibacter isoporae SW-11T and Simiduia agarivorans SA1T with sequence similarities of 94.5, 94.1, 93.7 and 93.6 %, respectively. The isolate was distinguished from members of these genera by a combination of DNA G+C content, chemotaxonomic characteristics (respiratory quinone system, fatty acid profile and polar lipid composition) and other phenotypic features. Based on phylogenetic, genotypic, chemotaxonomic and phenotypic characteristics, strain Q-192T is considered to represent a novel species of a new genus, for which the name Marinibactrum halimedae gen. nov., sp. nov. is proposed. The type strain of Marinibactrum halimedae is Q-192T ( = NBRC 110095T = NCIMB 14932T).
