Marinobacter litoralis sp. nov., a moderately halophilic bacterium isolated from sea water from the East Sea in Korea

Sulfitobacter litoralis sp. nov., a marine bacterium isolated from the East Sea, Korea.

A Gram-negative, aerobic, halophilic bacterium, designated strain Iso 3(T), was isolated from the East Sea in Korea. Strain Iso 3(T) was motile by means of polar flagella, occasionally formed rosette-like aggregates and contained 18 : 1omega7c as the dominant cellular fatty acid. Strain Iso 3(T) grew at NaCl concentrations of 1-10 % and temperatures of 4-30 degrees C. The optimal growth tempera...

Marinobacter salarius sp. nov. and Marinobacter similis sp. nov., Isolated from Sea Water

Two non-pigmented, motile, Gram-negative marine bacteria designated R9SW1T and A3d10T were isolated from sea water samples collected from Chazhma Bay, Gulf of Peter the Great, Sea of Japan, Pacific Ocean, Russia and St. Kilda Beach, Port Phillip Bay, the Tasman Sea, Pacific Ocean, respectively. Both organisms were found to grow between 4 °C and 40 °C, between pH 6 to 9, and are moderately halop...

Oceanisphaera donghaensis sp. nov., a halophilic bacterium from the East Sea, Korea.

A taxonomic study was carried out on two isolates, strains BL1(T) and BL11, from marine sediment collected from the East Sea, Korea. Comparative 16S rRNA gene sequence studies showed that these isolates clearly affiliated with the Gammaproteobacteria. BL1T and BL11 were most closely related to Oceanisphaera litoralis KMM 3654T (97.6 and 97.7 % 16S rRNA gene sequence similarity, respectively). T...

Marinobacter nitratireducens sp. nov., a halophilic and lipolytic bacterium of the family Alteromonadaceae isolated from coastal surface sea water

Hongiella marincola sp. nov., isolated from sea water of the East Sea in Korea.

Two Gram-negative, non-motile, non-spore-forming, rod-shaped strains, SW-2T and SW-26, were isolated from sea water of the East Sea in Korea. These organisms grew optimally at 37 degrees C and in the presence of 2-3 % (w/v) NaCl. They did not grow without NaCl or in the presence of >9 % (w/v) NaCl. Strains SW-2T and SW-26 were characterized chemotaxonomically as having MK-7 as the predominant i...
