Abstract:
A Gram-stain-negative, short rod-shaped bacterium, designated 26DY36 T , was isolated from a deep-sea sediment sample collected from the North Atlantic Rise. The isolate required NaCl and grew best with 2 % (w/v) sea salts at a temperature of 30–35 °C and at pH 7.0. It formed yellow colonies, produced carotenoid-like pigments and did not produce bacteriochlorophyll a . Strain 26DY36 T was positive for hydrolysis of aesculin, gelatin, tyrosine and Tweens 20, 40, 60 and 80, but negative for hydrolysis of casein, DNA and starch. The major respiratory quinone was ubiquinone-10. The major polar lipid profile consisted of sphingoglycolipid, diphosphatidylglycerol, phosphatidylethanolamine, phosphatidylglycerol, phosphatidylcholine and two unidentified glycolipids. The principal fatty acids ( 〉 5 %) were C 18 : 1 ω7 c , C 17 : 1 ω6 c , C 15 : 0 2-OH and C 16 : 0 . The genomic DNA G+C content was 59.4 mol%. Phylogenetic analysis based on the 16S rRNA gene sequences indicated that strain 26DY36 T should be assigned to the genus Altererythrobacter . 16S rRNA gene sequence similarities between the isolate and the type strains of species of the genus Altererythrobacter were in the range 92.7–96.5 %. On the basis of phenotypic and genotypic data, strain 26DY36 T represents a novel species of the genus Altererythrobacter , for which the name Altererythrobacter atlanticus sp. nov. (type strain, 26DY36 T = CGMCC 1.12411 T = JCM 18865 T ) is proposed.
