Marinobacter mobilis sp. nov. and Marinobacter zhejiangensis sp. nov., halophilic bacteria isolated from the East China Sea

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...

Marinobacter goseongensis sp. nov., from seawater.

A Gram-negative marine bacterium, designated strain En6(T), was isolated from seawater of the East Sea of Korea. The organism grew in 1-25 % (w/v) NaCl and at 10-37 degrees C and pH 5.3-9.3, with optimal growth occurring in 4-5 % NaCl and at 25-30 degrees C and pH 7.5. Phylogenetic analysis of the 16S rRNA gene sequence of strain En6(T) placed this bacterium in the clade Marinobacter within the...

Marinobacter segnicrescens sp. nov., a moderate halophile isolated from benthic sediment of the South China Sea.

A Gram-negative, motile, non-spore-forming and moderately halophilic ellipsoid-shaped marine coccobacillus, designated strain SS011B1-4(T), was isolated from benthic sediment of the South China Sea. Optimum growth occurred at 30-37 degrees C, pH 7.5-8.0 and 4-8 % (w/v) NaCl. Strain SS011B1-4(T) utilized a variety of organic substrates as sole carbon sources, but did not utilize toluene, n-tetra...

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

Marinobacter guineae sp. nov., a novel moderately halophilic bacterium from an Antarctic environment.

Two Gram-negative, cold-adapted, moderately halophilic, aerobic bacteria, designated strains M3B(T) and M3T, were isolated from marine sediment collected from the South Shetland Islands, Antarctica. The organisms were rod-shaped, catalase- and oxidase-positive, and motile by means of polar flagella. These two psychrotolerant strains required Na(+) and grew at NaCl concentrations of 1-15 % and t...
