Mesonia phycicola sp. nov., isolated from seaweed, and emended description of the genus Mesonia.
2010
An aerobic, Gram-reaction-negative, non-motile, catalase- and oxidase-positive
bacterium, designated strain MDSW-25T, was isolated from seaweed
collected in the vicinity of Mara Island in Jeju province, Republic of Korea.
Colonies were smooth, circular and convex with entire edges and yellow in
colour. Growth occurred at 10–30 °C, at pH 6.1–9.1
and in the presence of 1–12 % (w/v) NaCl.
The major fatty acids were iso-C15 : 0 (25.6 %)
and iso-C15 : 1 G (11.3 %),
and the major menaquinone was MK-6. The DNA G+C content was 30.0 mol%.
Phylogenetic analysis based on 16S rRNA gene sequence showed that strain MDSW-25T belonged to the genus Mesonia, family Flavobacteriaceae. Sequence similarity with Mesonia mobilis and Mesonia algae was 97.5 and 95.4 %, respectively, but DNA relatedness
between strain MDSW-25T and M. mobilis KCTC 12708T was only 47 %. A battery of phenotypic data, phylogenetic
inference and DNA–DNA hybridization analyses supports the conclusion
that strain MDSW-25T (=KCTC 22373T =DSM
21425T) represents a novel species of the genus Mesonia, for which the name Mesonia phycicola sp. nov. is proposed.
On the basis of new data obtained in this study, an emended description of
the genus Mesonia is also proposed.
