Abstract:
A marine bacterial strain, designated MD2 T , was isolated from the damaged tissue of a hydrocoral, Millepora dichotoma , collected from the coral reef in the northern Red Sea, Gulf of Eilat, Israel. Strain MD2 T was Gram-reaction-negative, rod-shaped and motile, and formed small, creamy and opaque colonies, 1–2 mm in diameter, after 3 days incubation on Marine agar at 30°C. The novel strain grew well in nutrient broth at 1.5–6 % NaCl and at 20–37°C. The major cellular fatty acids were iso-C 17 : 1 ω9 c , iso-C 17 : 0 , C 18 : 1 ω7 c and C 17 : 1 ω6 c . The polar lipids consisted of phosphatidylglycerol, phosphatidylethanolamine, an unidentified lipid, two unidentified phospholipids, two unidentified glycolipids and two unidentified aminolipids. Ubiquinone Q-10 was the only respiratory lipoquinone. The DNA G+C content was 60.3 mol%. Analysis of the 16S rRNA gene sequence placed the organism in the α-subclass of the Proteobacteria with a sequence divergence of about 9 % from any species with a validly published name. The highest 16S rRNA gene sequence similarity (approximately 91 %) was notably with type strains of members of the genus Kordiimonas , Kordiimonas aestuarii 101-1 T , Kordiimonas lacus S3-22 T and Kordiimonas gwangyangensis GW14-5 T . On the basis of genotypic, chemotaxonomic and phenotypic distinctness, strain MD2 T represents a novel species in a new genus of the class Alphaproteobacteria , for which the name Eilatimonas milleporae gen. nov., sp. nov. is proposed. The type strain of the type species is MD2 T ( = LMG 26586 T = DSM 25217 T ).
