Abstract

A Gram-stain negative, non-flagellated, beige-pigmented, circular, catalase-positive, oxidase-positive bacterium, designated G4T, was isolated from gut microflora of top shell (Trochus maculatus Linnaeus) collected from Diwanggong market, Weihai, People’s Republic of China. The novel isolate was able to grow at 4–42 °C (optimum 25–33 °C), pH 7.0–9.0 (optimum 6.5–7.0) and with 0.0–11.0% NaCl (optimum 2.0–3.0%, w/v). Analysis of 16S rRNA gene sequence revealed that strain G4T shared the highest 16S rRNA gene sequence similarities with Oceaniglobus ichthyenteri YLY08T (96.6%), followed by Oceaniglobus indicus 1-19bT (95.3%). The genome of strain G4T, with 32 assembled contigs, was 4.5 Mb long with a G+C content of 65.3 mol%. DNA–DNA hybridization values of the isolate against the closely related type strains were far below the 70% limit for species delineation. The average amino acid identity, average nucleotide identity and digital DNA–DNA genome hybridization relatedness between strain G4T and the closely related members of the genus Oceaniglobus, Oceaniglobus indicus1-19bT and Oceaniglobus ichthyenteri YLY08T were 71.3, 76.4 and 20.0%, and 75.0, 76.3 and 19.4%. The major cellular fatty acid was summed feature 8 (C18:1ω7c and/or C18:1ω6c). The sole respiratory quinone was Q-10. The polar lipid profile consisted of diphosphatidylglycerol, phosphatidylcholine, phosphatidylethanolamine, phosphatidylglycerol and phosphatidyldimethylethanolamine. The results of phenotypical, phylogenetic and biochemical analyses indicated that strain G4T represents a novel species in genus Oceaniglobus within the family Rhodobacteraceae, for which the name Oceaniglobus trochenteri sp. nov. is proposed. The type strain is G4T (= MCCC 1K04356T = KCTC 82506T).
