Abstract:
The Gram-stain-negative, golden-yellow-colored, non-spore-forming, strictly aerobic, slender rod-shaped bacterial strain, designated KN852T, was isolated from a seamount in the tropical western Pacific. The predominant respiratory quinone was MK-7 and the polar lipid profiles contained phosphatidylethanolamine, one unidentified phospholipid and six unidentified polar lipids. The predominant cellular fatty acids were iso-C15:0, summed feature 3(C16:1ω7c and/or iso-C15:0 2OH), iso-C17:0 3OH and iso-C15:1 G. Phylogenetic analyses of 16S rRNA gene sequence revealed that strain KN852T was affiliated with the family Flammeovirgaceae of the phylum Bacteroidota and formed a distinct lineage. The genomic DNA G + C content of strain KN852T was 34.8%. Collectively, based on phenotypic, chemotaxonomic, phylogenetic and genomic evidence presented, strain KN852T represents a novel species of a novel genus of the family Flammeovirgaceae, for which the name Marinigracilibium pacificum gen. nov., sp. nov. is proposed. The type strain is KN852T (= CGMCC 1.17119T = KCTC 72433T).
