Abstract:
A Gram-negative, aerobic, halophilic bacterium, designated strain Iso 3 T , was isolated from the East Sea in Korea. Strain Iso 3 T was motile by means of polar flagella, occasionally formed rosette-like aggregates and contained 18 : 1 ω 7 c as the dominant cellular fatty acid. Strain Iso 3 T grew at NaCl concentrations of 1–10 % and temperatures of 4–30 °C. The optimal growth temperature was 20 °C. Analysis of the 16S rRNA gene sequence revealed that this strain is affiliated with a subcluster of the Alphaproteobacteria . However, strain Iso 3 T generated metabolic energy by sulfide oxidation. The 16S rRNA gene sequence similarity between strain Iso 3 T and the type strain of the most closely related species, Sulfitobacter pontiacus , was 97.7 %. DNA–DNA relatedness between strain Iso 3 T and Sulfitobacter pontiacus DSM 10014 T was 24.1 %. On the basis of phenotypic properties and phylogenetic distinctiveness, strain Iso 3 T is classified within a novel Sulfitobacter species, for which the name Sulfitobacter litoralis sp. nov. is proposed, with the type strain Iso 3 T (=KCTC 12521 T =DSM 17584 T ).
