Description of Pseudomarimonas salicorniae sp. nov., Isolated from Salicornia herbacea L. in the Tidal Flat of the Yellow Sea

A Gram-stain-negative, strictly aerobic, non-motile, rod-shaped, designated strain CAU 1642 ^T, was isolated from a Salicornia herbacea collected from a tidal flat in the Yellow Sea. Strain CAU 1642 ^T grew optimally at pH 8.0 and 30 °C. The highest 16S rRNA gene sequence similarity was 97.25%, with Pseudomarinomonas arenosa CAU 1598 ^T, and phylogenetic analysis indicated that strain CAU 1642 ^T belongs to the genus Pseudomarinomonas. The major cellular fatty acids were iso-C_15:0, iso-C_16:0, and summed feature 9 (iso-C_17:1ω9c and/or 10-methyl C_16:0). Ubiquinone-8 was the major respiratory quinone. The draft genome of strain CAU 1642 ^T was 4.5 Mb, with 68.7 mol% of G + C content. The phylogenetic, phenotypic, and chemotaxonomic analysis data reveal strain CAU 1642 ^T to be of a novel genus in the family Lysobacteraceae, with the proposed name Pseudomarinomonas salicorniae sp. nov. with type strain CAU 1642 ^T (= KCTC 92084 ^T = MCCC 1K07085^T).
