ABSTRACT
Cells of strain SW33T, isolated from the seawater of Asan Bay, Republic of Korea, were characterized as Gram-stain-negative, aerobic, rod-shaped, motile and non-spore-forming. Phylogenetic analysis revealed that strain SW33T belonged to the genus Psychrosphaera and clustered distantly with the other genera in the family Pseudoalteromonadaceae in the phylogenetic tree. The 16S rRNA sequences of strain SW33T revealed high similarities to Psychrosphaera saromensis SA4-48T (98.7â%), Psychrosphaera haliotis KDW4T (97.4â%) and Psychrosphaera aestuarii PSC101T (97.3â%). The major fatty acids were C16ââ0 (27.9â%), summed feature 3 (32.2â%) and summed feature 8 (17.2â%). The predominant quinone was Q-8, and the polar lipid profile consisted of diphosphatidylglycerol, phosphatidylethanolamine, phosphatidylglycerol and an unidentified amino lipid. The DNA G+C content was 38.3 mol%. The DNA-DNA relatedness values with the three species of Psychrosphaera saromensis KCTC 23240T, Psychrosphaera haliotis KCTC 22500T and Psychrosphaera aestuarii KCTC 32274T were 22, 23 and 18â%, respectively. Based on the phenotypic characteristics and taxonomic analyses, we propose that strain SW33T represents a novel species within the genus Psychrosphaera, for which the name Psychrosphaera aquimarina sp. nov. with the type strain SW33T (=KCTC 52743T=CICC 24249T) is proposed.
