Abstract:
A piezotolerant, H 2 O 2 -tolerant, heavy-metal-tolerant, slightly halophilic bacterium (strain NBT06E8 T ) was isolated from a deep-sea sediment sample collected from the New Britain Trench at depth of 8900 m. The strain was aerobic, motile, Gram-stain-negative, rod-shaped, oxidase-positive and catalase-positive. Growth of the strain was observed at 4–45 °C (optimum, 30 °C), at pH 5–11 (optimum, pH 8–9) and in 0.5–21 % (w/v) NaCl (optimum, 3–7 %). The optimum pressure for growth was 0.1–30 MPa with tolerance up to 60 MPa. Under optimum growth conditions, the strain could tolerate 15 mM H 2 O 2 . Resuls of 16S rRNA gene sequence analysis showed that strain NBT06E8 T is closely related to Halomonas aquamarina DSM 30161 T (99.5%), Halomonas meridiana DSM 5425 T (99.43%) and Halomonas axialensis Althf1 T (99.35%). The digital DNA–DNA hybridization values between strain NBT06E8 T and the three related type strains, H. aquamarina , H. meridiana and H. axialensis , were 30.5±2.4 %, 30.7±2.5% and 31.5±2.5 %, respectively. The average nucleotide identity values between strain NBT06E8 T and the three related type strains were 86.26, 86.26 and 83.63 %, respectively. The major fatty acids were summed feature 8 (C 18 : 1 ω7 c and/or C 18 : 1 ω6 c ) and C 16 : 0 . The predominant respiratory quinone detected was ubiquinone-9 (Q-9). Based on its phenotypic and phylogenetic characteristics, we conclude that strain NBT06E8 T represents a novel species of the genus Halomonas , for which the name Halomonas piezotolerans sp. nov. is proposed (type strain NBT06E8 T = MCCC 1K04228 T =KCTC 72680 T ).
