Abstract
A strictly aerobic Gram-negative bacterium, designated 2012CJ34-2T, was isolated from marine sponge to Chuja-do in Jeju-island, Republic of Korea and taxonomically characterized. Cells were catalase- and oxidase-positive, and non-motile rods (without flagella). Growth was observed at 15-42°C (optimum, 30°C), pH 6-9 (optimum, pH 7), and in the presence of 0.5-10% (w/v) NaCl (optimum, 2-3%). The major cellular fatty acid and respiratory quinones were identified summed feature 3 (C16:1 ω7c/C16:1 ω6c), and Q-8 and Q-9, respectively. The polar lipids comprised diphosphatidylglycerol, phosphatidylglycerol, phosphatidylethanolamine, an unidentified aminophospholipid, two unidentified phospholipids, and three unidentified lipids. The DNA G+C content was 48.0mol%. Phylogenetic analyses based on 16S rRNA gene and whole genome sequences showed that strain 2012CJ34-2T formed a clade with Parendozoicomonas haliclonae S-B4-1UT and Sansalvadorimonas verongulae LMG 29871T within the family Endozoicomodaceae. Genome relatedness values, including dDDH, ANI and AF, and AAI and POCP, among strain 2012CJ34-2T, P. haliclonae S-B4-1UT, and S. verongulae LMG 29871T were within the range of the bacterial genus cut-off values. Based on the phylogenetic, chemotaxonomic, and genomic analyses, strain 2012CJ34-2T represents a novel bacterial species of the family Endozoicomodaceae, for which the name Parendozoicomonas callyspongiae sp. nov. is proposed. The type strain is 2012CJ34-2T (= KACC 22641T = LMG 32581T). Additionally, we proposed the reclassification of Sansalvadorimonas verongulae of the family Hahellaceae as Parendozoicomonas verongulae of the family Endozoicomonadaceae.
