| Abstract |
A Gram-stain-negative, heterotrophic, facultative anaerobic, gliding and motile bacterium, approximately 0.6-0.9 µm wide and 1.5-2.6 µm long, designated F3105T, was isolated from a marine sediment sample collected along the coast of Rongcheng, China . The growth of strain F3105T occurred on media with 1.0-8.0 % (w/v) NaCl (optimum, 2.0-3.0 %) and a pH of 6.5-9.5 (optimum, pH 7.5) at 4-45 °C (optimum, 37 °C). The phylogenetic analysis of the 16S rRNA gene and chemotaxonomic data revealed that the isolate belonged to the genus Aliidiomarina, and is closely related to Aliidiomarina shirensis (95.9 % sequence similarity). The sole isoprenoid quinone was Q-8. The major cellular fatty acids of the isolate were iso-C15 : 0, iso-C17 : 1ω9c and iso-C17 : 0, and its polar lipids consisted of phosphatidylethanolamine, phosphatidylglycerol, diphosphatidylglycerol, aminolipid, two unidentified lipids and two unidentified aminophospholipids. The DNA G+C content of strain F3105T was 49.5 mol%. On the basis of phenotypic distinctiveness and phylogenetic divergence, strain F3105T is considered to represent a novel species of the genus Aliidiomarina, for which the name Aliidiomarinaceleris sp. nov. is proposed. The type strain is F3105T (=MCCC 1H00223T=KCTC 52891T).
