    Abstract:
    Four strains of Planctomycetes, (JC636, JC649, JC650T, JC657T) which are all salt and alkali tolerant, pink coloured, with spherical to oval shaped, Gram-stain-negative, non-motile cells were isolated from different regions of Chilika lagoon, India. All strains have obligate requirement for N-acetylglucosamine (NAG) and share highest 16S rRNA gene sequence identity with members of the genus Tautonia (<95%) of the family Isosphaeraceae. The 16S rRNA gene sequence identity between strains was >99.5%. Respiratory quinone for all the strains was MK6. Major fatty acids of all the strains were C18:1ω9c, C16:0 and C18:0. Major polar lipid of the strain JC650T was phosphatidylethanolamine, while, phosphatidylcholine and phosphatidylglycerol for strain JC657T. Spermidine was the only common polyamine for all the four strains. Strains JC657T, JC636 and JC649 shared highest phenotypic similarity along with 100% 16S rRNA gene sequence identity. Strains JC657T, JC636 and JC649 differed from strain JC650T phenotypically, chemotaxonomically and genotypically, thus belong to a different species. The genomic size of strain JC650T and JC657T are 7.06 Mb and 6.96 Mb with DNA G + C content of 63.9 and 62.7 mol%, respectively. Based on phylogenetic, genomic (ANI, AAI, POCP, dDDH), chemotaxonomic, physiological and biochemical characteristics, we conclude that strains JC650T and JC657T (together with strains JC636, JC649) belong to the genus Tautonia and constitute two novel species for which we propose the names Tautonia marina sp. nov., and Tautonia rosea sp. nov., respectively. These two novel species are represented by the type strains JC650T (=KCTC 72177T = NBRC 113885T) and JC657T (=KCTC 72597T = NBRC 113883T) respectively.
