<i>Tenacibaculum</i><i> tangerinum</i> sp. nov., isolated from a tidal flat sediment

초록

An orange-coloured bacterium, designated as strain GRR-S3-23(T), was isolated from a tidal flat sediment collected from Garorim Bay, Chuncheongbuk-do, Republic of Korea. Cells of GRR-S3-23(T) were aerobic, Gram-stain-negative, rod-shaped and motile. GRR-S3-23T grew at 18-40 degrees C (optimum, 30 degrees C), pH 7.0-9.0 (optimum, pH 7.0) and with 2-4 % NaCl (optimum, 2-3 % w/v). Results of 16S rRNA gene sequence analysis indicated that GRR-S3-23(T) was closely related to Tenacibaculum aiptasiae a4(T) (97.6 %), followed by Tenacibaculum aestuarii SMK-4(T) (97.5 %), Tenacibaculum mesophilum MBIC 1140(T) (97.4 %), Tenacibaculum singaporense TLL-A2(T) (97.3 %), Tenacibaculum crassostreae JO-1(T) (97.2 %),and Tenacibaculum sediminilitoris YKTF-3(T) (97.1 %). The average amino acid identity values between GRR-S3-23(T) and the related strains were 86.8-72.8 %, the average nucleotide identity values were 83.3-74.1 %, and the digital DNA-DNA hybridization values were 27.0-19.6 %. GRR-S3-23T possessed menaquinone-6 (MK-6) as major respiratory quinone and had summed feature 3 (C-16 : 1 omega 7c and/or C-16 : 1 omega 6c, 20.6 %) and iso-C(15 : 1)G (10.8 %) as major fatty acids (>10.0 %). The polar lipid profiles of GRR-S3-23(T )contained phosphatidylethanolamine, one unidentified aminolipid, one unidentified aminophospholipid, three unidentified lipids, one unidentified glycolipid and four unidentified phospholipids. The DNA G+C content of GRR-S3-23(T) was 33.7%. On the basis of the results of the polyphasic analysis involving phylogenetic, phylogenomic, physiological and chemotaxonomic analyses described in this study, GRR-S3-23(T) is considered to represent a novel species within the genus Tenacibaculum , for which the name Tenacibaculum tangerinum is proposed. The type strain is GRR-S3-23(T) (=KCTC 102029(T)=KACC 23271(T)=JCM 36353(T)).
