Oceanisphaera profunda sp. nov., a marine bacterium isolated from deep-sea sediment, and emended description of the genus Oceanisphaera.

Oceanisphaera ostreae sp. nov., isolated from seawater of an oyster farm, and emended description of the genus Oceanisphaera Romanenko et al. 2003.

A Gram-stain-negative, motile, non-spore-forming and short rod- or rod-shaped bacterial strain, T-w6(T), was isolated from seawater of an oyster farm in the South Sea, Korea. Strain T-w6(T) grew optimally at 25 °C and in the presence of 2% (w/v) NaCl. Phylogenetic analyses based on 16S rRNA gene sequences revealed that strain T-w6(T) joined the cluster comprising Oceanisphaera species with a bo...

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...

Cyclobacterium lianum sp. nov., a marine bacterium isolated from sediment of an oilfield in the South China Sea, and emended description of the genus Cyclobacterium.

The marine bacterial strain HY9(T) was isolated from sediment from the South China Sea. Strain HY9(T) is aerobic, heterotrophic and rose-pigmented. The cells are non-motile and curved, i.e. ring-like or horseshoe-shaped. The 16S rRNA gene sequence of strain HY9(T) was determined and blast searches revealed that it possessed significant sequence similarities with respect to Cyclobacterium specie...

Silanimonas mangrovi sp. nov., a novel bacterium of the family Xanthomonadaceae isolated from mangrove sediment and emended description of the genus Silanimonas

Salegentibacter catena sp. nov., isolated from sediment of the South China Sea, and emended description of the genus Salegentibacter.

A novel marine bacterial strain, HY1T, was isolated from sediment of the South China Sea. The strain was aerobic and heterotrophic and formed saffron yellow-pigmented colonies on marine agar 2216. Cells were non-motile, Gram-negative rods, frequently occurring in chains. BLASTN searches revealed that the 16S rRNA gene sequence of strain HY1T showed high similarity with those of members of the g...
