Abstract

A marine bacterium, designated strain N39T, was isolated from a sediment sample collected at a sea cucumber culture pond in Weihai, China. Cells of strain N39T were observed to be Gram-stain negative, facultatively anaerobic, motile rods showing catalase and oxidase negative reactions. Strain N39T was found to grow optimally at pH 8.0–8.5, 35–37 °C and in the presence of approximately 3.0 % (w/v) NaCl. Phylogenetic analysis based on 16S rRNA gene sequences indicated that strain N39T belongs to the genus Kordiimonas in the family Kordiimonadaceae, appearing closely related to Kordiimonas lacus JCM 16261T (95.9 %), Kordiimonas aquimaris MEBiC06554T (95.1 %), Kordiimonas gwangyangensis JCM 12864T (94.2 %) and Kordiimonas aestuarii 101-1T (93.8 %). Ubiquinone 10 (Q-10) was found to be the major respiratory quinone. The dominant cellular fatty acids were identified as iso-C17:1 ω9c, iso-C17:0, iso-C15:0 and C17:1 ω6c. The predominant polar lipids were found to be phosphatidylglycerol, phosphatidylethanolamine and diphosphatidylglycerol. The DNA G + C content of strain N39T is 50.8 %. On the basis of genotypic, chemotaxonomic and phenotypic data, strain N39T is concluded to represent a novel species within the genus Kordiimonas, for which the name Kordiimonas sediminis sp. nov. is proposed. The type strain is N39T (=KCTC 42590T = MCCC 1H00112T).
