The Okinawa Trough

A novel Gram-stain-negative, strictly aerobic, rod-shaped motile bacterium with a single flagellum, designated strain WRAS1T, was isolated from deep seawater of the Okinawa Trough. Growth occurred in the presence of 0.0–9.0 % NaCl (w/v; optimum, 3.0–4.0 %), at 4–45 °C (optimum, 28–37 °C) and pH 7.0–10.0 (optimum, pH 7.0–8.0). The major fatty acid (>10 % of total fatty acids) was summed feature 8, comprising C18:1 ω6c and/or C18:1 ω7c. The major polar lipids were phosphatidylcholine, phosphatidylglycerol, phosphatidylethanolamine and three unidentified lipids. The major respiratory quinone was ubiquinone-10. Phylogenetic analysis based on 16S rRNA gene sequences indicated that strain WRAS1T was in the genus Thalassococcus and showed the highest 16S rRNA gene sequence similarity of 97.5 % to Thalassococcus halodurans JCM13833T.

Two Gram-stain-negative, yellow-pigmented and strictly aerobic bacteria, designated strains SE-s27T and SE-s28T, were isolated from forest soil. Both strains were non-motile rods that were catalase-positive and oxidase-negative and grew optimally at 25–30 °C, pH 8.0 and with 0 % (w/v) NaCl. Strain SE-s28T produced flexirubin-type pigments, but strain SE-s27T did not produce them. Both strains contained menaquinone-6 as the sole respiratory quinone and phosphatidylethanolamine as a major polar lipid. As the major cellular fatty acids (>10 %), SE-s27T contained iso-C15 : 1 and iso-C15 : 1G, whereas SE-s28T contained iso-C15 : 0 and summed feature 3 comprising C16 : 1ω7c and/or C16 : 1ω6c and/or iso-C15 : 0 2-OH. The DNA G+C contents of strains SE-s27T and SE-s28T were 33.1 and 44.3 mol%, respectively. The results of phylogenetic analysis based on 16S rRNA gene sequences revealed that SE-s27T and SE-s28T formed respective distinct phylogenetic lineages within the genus Flavobacterium . Strains SE-s27T and SE-s28T were most closely related to Flavobacterium macrobrachii an-8T and Flavobacterium piscinae ICH-30T with 98.0 and 94.5 % 16S rRNA gene sequence similarities, respectively. In conclusion, strains SE-s27T and SE-s28T represent novel species of the genus Flavobacterium , for which the names Flavobacterium solisilvae sp. nov. and Flavobacterium silvaticum sp. nov. are proposed.
