Taxonomic Characterization

A number of marine bacteria isolated from young biofilms were characterized as belonging to the family Flavobacteriaceae. The taxonomic characterization of strain KOPRI 13649T, which was isolated from an acrylic surface at the seashore at Gangneung, Korea, is reported here. The nearly complete 16S rRNA gene sequence of strain KOPRI 13649T was determined and was found to have a high level of similarity with that of Psychroserpens burtonensis (95.0–95.6 %). In addition, phylogenetic analysis and comparison with closely related strains confirmed that the strain represented a novel member of the genus Psychroserpens. The major respiratory quinone of strain KOPRI 13649T was MK-6 and the DNA G+C content was 29.8 mol%. The dominant fatty acid methyl esters were i-15 : 0, a-15 : 0, i-16 : 0, i-15 : 1ω10, 16 : 1ω7 and 15 : 0. Growth was observed at 10–34 °C (optimum 30 °C), at pH 6–9 (optimum 6.5–8.0) and with 0.5–4 % NaCl (optimum 1 %). On the basis of the polyphasic taxonomic evidence presented, strain KOPRI 13649T (=KCCM 42261T=JCM 13413T) should be classified as the type strain of a novel species in the genus Psychroserpens, for which the name Psychroserpens mesophilus sp. nov. is proposed.

A marine bacterium, DOKDO 007T, was isolated from the rhizosphere of the marine alga Ecklonia kurome collected from Dokdo Island, Korea, in October 2004. The strain produced orange-coloured colonies on marine agar 2216. 16S rRNA gene sequence analysis indicated that the novel isolate belonged to the family Flavobacteriaceae and showed relatively high sequence similarities with members of the genus Muricauda (92.0–94.0 %). Phylogenetic analysis based on nearly complete 16S rRNA gene sequences revealed that the novel isolate shared a lineage with members of the genera Muricauda and Costertonia. Cells were aerobic, Gram-negative rods producing non-diffusible carotenoid pigments. In contrast to all other members of the family Flavobacteriaceae, cells of DOKDO 007T were motile by means of a polar flagellum. Optimal growth occurred in the presence of 3.5–4 % (w/v) sea salts (corresponding to 2.7–3.1 % NaCl), at pH 8 and at temperatures of 26–29 °C. The novel strain required Ca2+ ions in addition to NaCl for growth. The dominant fatty acids were iso-15 : 0, iso-15 : 1ω10c and 10-methyl-16 : 0. The major respiratory quinone was MK-6. The DNA G+C content was 56.3 mol%, an unusually high value for members of the family Flavobacteriaceae. On the basis of these polyphasic taxonomic data, strain DOKDO 007T should be classified as representing a new genus and novel species in the family Flavobacteriaceae, for which the name Flagellimonas eckloniae gen. nov., sp. nov. is proposed. The type strain is DOKDO 007T (=KCCM 42307T=JCM 13831T).

An aerobic, Gram-negative, non-fermentative, rod-shaped, motile, orange-pigmented bacterium, UST20020801T, was isolated from sea-water samples collected from Port Shelter, Hong Kong, S.A.R., China, in August 2002. The full 16S rRNA gene sequence of this strain shared only 87·5 % similarity with its nearest relative, Crocinitomix catalasitica, a species of the family Cryomorphaceae. However, strain UST20020801T possessed menaquinone-6, a major respiratory quinone of members of the family Flavobacteriaceae. This strain contains unique fatty acids such as i15 : 1G, i17 : 1ω9c, 2-OH 15 : 0, 15 : 1ω6c and three unknown fatty acids of equivalent chain-length of 11·543, 13·565 and 16·582. Further analysis of its ecophysiology and biochemistry suggests that this strain represents a new genus in the phylum ‘Bacteroidetes’. The name Owenweeksia hongkongensis gen. nov., sp. nov. is proposed. The type strain is UST20020801T (=NRRL B-23963T=JCM 12287T).

Abstract An aerobic, gram-negative, pink-colored, non-motile, rod-shaped algicidal bacterium, designated JA-25T was isolated from the freshwater of the Geumgang River, Republic of Korea. It grew at 15–30°C, 6.0–9.0 pH, and in the presence of 0–1% (w/v) NaCl. Phylogenetic analysis based on 16S rRNA gene sequences revealed that strain JA-25T belongs to the Family ‘Spirosomaceae’ and is most closely related to Fibrella aestuarina BUZ 2T (93.6%). The strain JA-25T showed < 90% sequence similarity to other members of the Family ‘Spirosomaceae’. The average nucleotide identity(ANI), in silico DNA-DNA hybridization and the average amino acid identity(AAI) values based on the genomic sequences of JA-25T and F. aestuarina BUZ 2T were 74.4, 20.5 and 73.6 %, respectively. The genomic DNA G + C content was 52.5mol %. The major cellular fatty acids were Summed feature 3 (C16:1 ω6c/C16:1 ω7c), C16:1 ω5c, C16:0 (> 10%). The genomic DNA G + C content was 52.5 mol %. The major respiratory quinone was MK-7 and the polar lipids were phosphatidylethanolamine, two unidentified aminolipids, two phospholipids and five unidentified lipids. Considering the phylogenetic inference, phenotypic and chemotaxonomic data, strain JA-25T should be classified as a novel species of the novel genus Fibrivirga, with the proposed name Fibrivirga algicola sp. nov. The type strain is JA-25T (= KCCM 43334T = NBRC 114259T).

An aerobic, Gram-stain-negative, non-motile coccus, designated strain GVCNT2T, was isolated from the tonsils of a healthy adult female. Cells were oxidase- and catalase-positive, positive for the production of esterase (C4), esterase lipase (C8) and leucine arylamidase, and weakly positive for naphthol-AS-BI-phosphohydrolase and alkaline phosphatase. Cells were also capable of hydrolysing DNA. Growth was observed at 20–37 °C and in the presence of up to 1.5 % NaCl. Phylogenetic analysis of near full-length 16S rRNA gene sequences indicated that the strain exhibited closest sequence similarity to Moraxella boevrei ATCC 700022T (94.68 %) and an uncultured, unspeciated bacterial clone (strain S12-08; 99 %). The major fatty acids were C18 : 1ω9c, C18 : 0, C16 : 0 and C16 : 1ω6c/C16 : 1ω7c. The DNA G+C content of strain GVCNT2T was 40.7 mol%. The major respiratory quinone identified was Q-8. Strain GVCNT2T exhibited a comparable phenotypic profile to other members of the genus Moraxella but could be distinguished based on its ability to produce acid (weakly) from d-glucose, melibiose, l-arabinose and rhamnose and on its ability to hydrolyse DNA. On the basis of phenotypic and phylogenetic differences from other members of the family Moraxellaceae , strain GVCNT2T is considered to represent a novel species of a new genus, for which the name Faucicola mancuniensis gen. nov., sp. nov. is proposed. The type strain of Faucicola mancuniensis is GVCNT2T ( = DSM 28411T = NCIMB 14946T).
