RESUMO
A Gram-stain-negative strain, designated FM6T, was isolated from surface seawater sampled at the port in Xiamen, PR China. Strain FM6T showed less than 96.3â% 16S rRNA gene sequence similarity to the type strains of species with validly published names. Phylogenetic analysis based on 16S rRNA gene sequences indicated that strain FM6T belonged to the family Sphingomonadaceae and was closely related to species of the genera Sphingomonas (96.3â%) and Stakelama (96.0â%). Ubiquinone-10 was the predominant respiratory quinone. Cells were motile with a single polar flagellum. Growth occurred at temperatures from 20 to 45 °C (optimum, 30 °C), at pH values between pH 6.0 and 8.0 (optimum, pH 7.0) and in 0-4.0â% (w/v) NaCl (optimum, 1.0-1.5â%). Predominant polar lipids were sphingoglycolipid, phosphatidylcholine, diphosphatidylglycerol, phosphatidylethanolamine, phosphatidylglycerol, five unidentified glycolipids and five unidentified polar lipids. The major fatty acids were summed feature 8 (containing C18â:â1ω7c and/or C18â:â1ω6c). The DNA G+C content of the type strain was 63.8 mol%. On the basis of the results of phylogenetic analysis, combined with phenotypic and chemotaxonomic data, strain FM6T is considered to represent a novel species in a new genus in the family Sphingomonadaceae for which the name Sphingosinithalassobacter portus gen. nov., sp. nov. is proposed. The type strain of Sphingosinithalassobacter portus gen. nov., sp. nov. is FM6T (=MCCC 1K03501T=JCM 32714T).

A Gram-stain-negative Rhodobacterales strain, designated as FSX-11T, was isolated from surface seawater of Xiamen port in China. Strain FSX-11T showed less than 96.5â% 16S rRNA gene sequence similarity to the type strains of species with validly published names. Phylogenetic analysis based on 16S rRNA gene sequences revealed that the novel isolate formed a distinct monophyletic clade within the family Rhodobacteriaceae and clustered distantly with the genera Thalassobius and Marivita. Cells of strain FSX-11T were non-motile, oval-shaped and facultative anaerobic. Optimal growth occurred at 20-30 °C, at pH 7.0-8.0 and in the presence of 2-3â% NaCl (w/v). The major respiratory quinone was ubiquinone-10. Summed feature 8 (C18â:â1ω7c and/or C18â:â1ω6c), 11-methyl C18â:â1ω7c and C16â:â0 were the major fatty acids. The DNA G+C content of strain FSX-11T was 58.7 mol%. On the basis of phylogenetic analysis, phenotypic and chemotaxonomic characteristics and 16S rRNA gene signature nucleotide patterns, strain FSX-11T represents a novel species in a novel genus within the family Rhodobacteraceae, for which the name Litorivita pollutaquae gen. nov., sp. nov. is proposed. The type strain is FSX-11T (=JCM 32715T=MCCC 1K03503T).
