| Abstract | The novel Gram-negative, aerobic, non-motile, non-spore-forming, short rod bacterium, strain C7T, was isolated from the seawater sample of Menai Straits (Wales, UK) and characterised. Phylogenetic analysis of 16S rRNA gene sequences showed that this strain represented a distinct lineage within the Roseobacter clade of family Rhodobacteracea within Alphaproteobacteria. The members of the genera Pontivivens (P. insulae GYSW-23T), Celeribacter (C. manganoxidans DY2-5T), Donghicola (D. eberneus SW-277T), Roseovarius (R. halotolerans HJ50T and R. pacificus 81-2T), Cribrihabitans (C. marinus CZ-AM5T) and Aestuariihabitans (A. beolgyonensis BB-MW15T) were the closest relatives with 16S rRNA gene sequence identities between 93.4 % and 95.6 %. The strain C7T could utilize a restricted number of complex substrates with a preference for yeast extract and tryptone, consistently with earlier observations that peptides may serve as an important energy and carbon source for bacteria from the Roseobacter clade. Growth occurred in the absence of sodium ions. The isolate C7T is a mesophilic bacterium that optimally grows at 20 ºC. The strain can grow under microaerophilic conditions. The major fatty acid was C18:1 cis d11. The only detected ubiquinone was Q10. The polar lipids of C7T strain were phosphatidylglycerol, two unknown aminolipids and three unknown lipids. The DNA G+C content of the strain was 60.0 mol%. Based on the results of the morphological, physiological and phylogenetic analyses, the new genus, Monaibacterium gen. nov., to include the new species Monaibacterium marinum sp. nov., is proposed. Strain C7T (=DSM 100241T, =LMG 28800T) is the type and only strain of M. marinum. |
