  • Title: Ruegeria scottomollicae sp. nov., isolated from a marine electroactive biofilm.
    Author: Vandecandelaere I, Nercessian O, Segaert E, Achouak W, Faimali M, Vandamme P.
    Journal: Int J Syst Evol Microbiol; 2008 Dec; 58(Pt 12):2726-33. PubMed ID: 19060048.
    Abstract:
    Seventy isolates were obtained from a marine electroactive biofilm that was generated on a cathodically polarized stainless steel electrode (Genoa, Italy). The genetic diversity was investigated by means of BOX-PCR fingerprinting and two clusters of isolates with similar BOX-PCR profiles were delineated. Whole-cell fatty acid methyl ester analysis and 16S rRNA gene sequence analysis showed that the isolates belonged to the Roseobacter lineage of the class Alphaproteobacteria. DNA-DNA hybridization experiments and a biochemical analysis demonstrated that four isolates belonged to the species Ruegeria mobilis. However, 66 isolates from the second BOX-PCR cluster constituted a novel species within the genus Ruegeria, for which the name Ruegeria scottomollicae sp. nov. is proposed. The DNA G+C content was 61.0+/-0.4 %. The type strain is LMG 24367(T) (=CCUG 55858(T)).
