Abstract:
A yellow-coloured, aerobic, Gram-negative, rod-shaped bacterial strain, designated B-I T , was isolated from the water of a shrimp ( Litopenaeus vannamei ) mariculture pond in Taiwan. No species with a validly published name showed 16S rRNA gene sequence similarity of more than 96.5 % to this novel isolate. The highest sequence similarities displayed by strain B-I T (93.2–96.1 %) were to members of the genus Tenacibaculum . The phenotypic properties of this organism were consistent with its classification in the genus Tenacibaculum . The novel isolate could be distinguished from all Tenacibaculum species by several phenotypic characteristics. The major fatty acids were iso-C 15 : 0 (22 %), summed feature 3 (C 16 : 1 ω 7 c and/or iso-C 15 : 0 2-OH; 21.3 %), iso-C 17 : 0 3-OH (12.7 %) and iso-C 15 : 1 (8.7 %). The G+C content of the genomic DNA was 35.2 mol%. Hence, genotypic and phenotypic data demonstrate that strain B-I T should be classified within a novel species in the genus Tenacibaculum , for which the name Tenacibaculum litopenaei sp. nov. is proposed. The type strain is B-I T (=BCRC 17590 T =LMG 23706 T ).
