Abstract
Strain 020920NT was isolated from the estuary of the Kaeda river in the Miyazaki prefecture in Japan. Phylogenetic analysis based on the 16S rRNA gene showed the strain's close evolutionary relationship with bacteria from the genus Grimontia, in the family Vibrionaceae. Phenotypic and chemotaxonomic features of the strain were investigated. Whole genome sequencing revealed that the strain 020920NT genome consists of two chromosomes and a plasmid, for a total of 5.52 Mbp. Calculations of whole genome average nucleotide identity and phylogenetic analysis based on the whole genome sequence showed that the strain represents a new species in the genus Grimontia, for which we propose the name Grimontia kaedaensis sp. nov. with the type strain 020920NT (=LMG 32507T=JCM 34978T).
