Abstract:
A Gram-stain-negative, aerobic, rod-shaped bacterium with a single polar flagellum, designated strain DCSW07T, was isolated from the surface water of the Bohai Sea, China. Phylogenetic analysis based on 16S rRNA gene sequences revealed that strain DCSW07T shared highest similarity (96.97 %) with Phaeobacter gallaeciensis DSM 26640T, formed a lineage within the family Rhodobacteraceae and was distinct from the most closely related genera Phaeobacter and Pseudooceanicola (96.6-96.8 and 95.8-96.2 % 16S rRNA gene sequence similarity, respectively). Optimal growth occurred in the presence of 6 % (w/v) NaCl, at pH 6.0 and at 28 °C. Strain DCSW07T contained phosphatidylcholine, phosphatidylethanolamine, an unidentified phospholipid and two unidentified polar lipids as the major polar lipids, and C18 : 1ω7c as the main fatty acid (>10 % of the total). The DNA G+C content of strain DCSW07T was 64.8 mol%. On the basis of this polyphasic study, strain DCSW07T is considered to represent a novel species of a new genus in the Roseobacter clade of the family Rhodobacteraceae, for which the name Paraphaeobacter pallidus gen. nov., sp. nov. is proposed. The type strain of Paraphaeobacter pallidus is DCSW07T (=KCTC 52369T=MCCC 1K03197T=JCM 31458T=CGMCC 1.15762T).
