  • Title: Sediminitomix flava gen. nov., sp. nov., of the phylum Bacteroidetes, isolated from marine sediment.
    Author: Khan ST, Nakagawa Y, Harayama S.
    Journal: Int J Syst Evol Microbiol; 2007 Aug; 57(Pt 8):1689-1693. PubMed ID: 17684238.
    Abstract:
    A novel bacterium designated Mok-1-85(T) was isolated from a marine sediment sample collected from Okinawa Island, Japan. Cells of strain Mok-1-85(T) stained Gram-negative, were catalase- and oxidase-positive and were non-motile. In a neighbour-joining tree based on 16S rRNA gene sequences, the novel strain clustered with the genus Flammeovirga, a member of the family 'Flammeovirgaceae'. The novel isolate shared low 16S rRNA gene sequence similarities (<or=86 %) with the members of the genus Flammeovirga and other related taxa. The major isoprenoid quinone was MK-7 and the predominant fatty acids of this organism were iso-C(15 : 0), C(16 : 1) omega 5c and C(16 : 0) 3-OH. The G+C content of the DNA was 38 mol%. Combined phylogenetic and physiological data showed that strain Mok-1-85(T) represents a novel genus and species for which the name Sediminitomix flava gen. nov., sp. nov. is proposed. The type strain is Mok-1-85(T) (=NBRC 101625(T)=KCTC 12970(T)=CIP 109411(T)).
