| Abstract |
A novel bacterial strain, C3212T, was isolated from a marine alga collected from the sea shore of Yantai, China. The strain was Gram-stain-negative, rod-shaped, aerobic, non-motile, and oxidase- and catalase-positive. Growth was observed at 8-37 °C (optimum, 28 °C), at pH 6.0-9.0 (optimum, pH 7.0) and in the presence of 1.0-7.0 % (w/v) NaCl (optimum, 4.0 %). The major respiratory quinone was ubiquinone-8 (Q-8). The polar lipids of strain C3212T consisted of diphosphatidylglycerol (cardiolipin), phosphatidylglycerol, phosphatidylethanolamine, an unidentified aminophospholipid, an unidentified phospholipid and an unidentified polar lipid. The major fatty acids were C16 : 1ω6c and/or C16 : 1ω7c, and C18 : 1ω6c and/or C18 : 1ω7c. The DNA G+C content of strain C3212T was 44.3 mol%. Phylogenetic analysis based on 16S rRNA gene sequences showed that the novel strain was related most closely to Leucothrix pacifica XH122T, Leucothrix arctica IMCC 9719T and Leucothrix mucor DSM 2157T with similarities of 98.0, 97.5 and 94.3 %, respectively. Estimated DNA-DNA hybridization values were 14.2, 20.7 and 13.9 % between strain C3212T and L. pacifica XH122T, L. arctica IMCC 9719T and L. mucor DSM 2157T, respectively. Phenotypic, phylogenetic and genomic analyses revealed that strain C3212T represents a novel species of the genus Leucothrix, for which the name Leucothrix sargassi sp. nov. is proposed. The type strain is C3212T (=MCCC 1K03600T=KCTC 72121T).
