Fulvivirga lutimaris sp. nov., isolated from a tidal flat sediment

Abstract

A Gram-stain-negative, non-flagellated, non-gliding and rod-shaped bacterial strain, designated TM-6 T , was isolated from a tidal flat sediment in the Korean peninsula. Strain TM-6 T was found to grow optimally at pH 7.0-8.0, at 30 C and in the presence of 2-3% (w/v) NaCl. A neighbour-joining phylogenetic tree based on 16S rRNA gene sequences showed that strain TM-6 T joined the clade comprising recognized species of the genus Fulvivirga, with which it exhibited 94.7-95.2 % sequence similarity. Strain TM-6 T was found to contain iso-C 15 : 0 , iso-C 15 : 1 G and iso-C 17 : 0 3-OH as major fatty acids. The only isoprenoid quinone was menaquinone-7 (MK-7). The major polar lipids were identified as phosphatidylethanolamine and three unidentified lipids. The DNA G+C content of strain TM-6 T was 50.9 mol%. Differential phenotypic properties, together with the phylogenetic distinctiveness, revealed that strain TM-6

“…RKSG066 T exhibited certain characteristics similar to other Flammeovirgaceae [29] and Fulvivirga type strains [80–82] including being strictly aerobic, non-flagellated, long, slender, rods that are positive for catalase, oxidase and alkaline phosphatase and lacking production of flexirubin-type pigments and indole. However, certain characteristics distinguish RKSG066 T from other members of Fulvivirga such as the ability to metabolize the following carbon sources (Biolog GEN III): l -arginine, l -histidine, citric acid, α-hydroxy-butyric acid, β-hydroxy- d,l -butyric acid and propionic acid, while unable to utilize stachyose, lactose, methyl β- d -glucoside, d -salicin, glycyl- l -proline, l -aspartic acid, pectin or Tween 40.…”

“…Sequence similarity comparisons of 16S rRNA genes using both blast [38] and EzTaxon [40] revealed that RKSG066 T was most closely related to members of the genus Fulvivirga including the type strains Fulvivirga kasyanovii KMM 6220 T (94.2–95.0 % identity) [80], Fulvivirga imtechensis AK7 T (94.3–94.5 %) [81] and Fulvivirga lutimaris TM-6 T (93.7–93.8 %) [82]. RKSG123 T shares its closest 16S rRNA gene sequence identity of≤90.2 % with described members of the order Cytophagales , mainly of the family Flammeovirgaceae and specifically the genera Roseivirga ( n =7; 87.0–89.8 %), Fulvivirga ( n =4; 87.5–90.2 %), Marivirga ( n =5; 88.2–89.7 %), Luteivirga ( n =1; 88.5–90.0 %) and Fabibacter ( n =3; 89.5–88.9 %), which is well below the standard genus cutoff of 95 % [83, 84].…”

“…The previously published articles listed in the References [1–50] contained the phrase ‘Summed features are groups of two or three fatty acids that are treated together for the purpose of evaluation in the MIDI system and include both peaks with discrete ECLs as well as those where the ECLs are not reported separately’, which was taken from and consequently should have cited the following article:…”
