Abstract
Strain WL0113T was isolated from surface seawater of the coast of Lianyungang, Jiangsu province, PR China. Strain WL0113T shared highest 16S rRNA gene sequence similarity with Roseobacter insulae YSTF-M11T (98.8%), followed by R. cerasinus AI77T (98.8%), R. ponti MM-7T (98.0%). Strain WL0113T was Gram-stain-negative, cream, aerobic, non-motile and coccoid- to oval-shaped, and able to grow at pH 6.5-9.0 (optimum, pH 7.0-8.0), at 10-37°C (optimum, 28°C) and in the presence of 1-5% (w/v; optimum, 2.5%) NaCl. Ubiquinone-10 was detected as dominant. The main fatty acids (> 5%) of the strain WL0113T were C16:0, iso-C17:0 3OH, C20:4ω6,9,12,15c (arachidonic acid), and summed feature 8 (C18:1ω7c and/or C18:1ω6c). The major polar lipids include phosphatidylglycerol, diphosphatidylglycerol, phosphatidylcholine, glycophospholipid, unknown aminolipid, unknown phospholipid, and two unknown polar lipids. The ANI and dDDH values between strain WL0113T and Roseobacter cerasinus were 80.4% and 23.0%, respectively. The genomic DNA G + C content of strain WL0113T was 63.1%. Based on these data, it is proposed that strain WL0113T represent novel species of the genus Roseobacter, for which the name Roseobacter sinensis sp. nov. is proposed. The type strain is WL0113T (= GDMCC 1.3082T = JCM 35567T).
