Abstract
A novel Gram-stain-negative, catalase- and oxidase-positive, facultatively anaerobic, and rod-shaped motile bacterial strain, designated as YLB-11T, was isolated from seahorse intestine. The 16S rRNA gene sequencing analysis showed that YLB-11T was most closely related Vibrio mytili LMG 19157T (98.9 % nucleotide sequence identity). Phylogenetic analysis placed strain YLB-11T within the genus Vibrio. The major cellular fatty acids were summed feature 3 (C16: 1 ω6c/C16 : 1 ω7c, 36.4 %), C16 : 0 (19.1 %) and summed feature 8 (C18:1 ω6c/C18:1 ω7c, 12.3 %). The DNA G+C content of YLB-11T was 44.7 mol %. The in silico DNA-DNA hybridization and average nucleotide identity values for whole-genome sequence comparisons between YLB-11T and related species were clearly below the thresholds used for the delineation of a novel species. Therefore, YLB-11T is considered to represent novel species of the genus Vibrio, for which the name Vibrio intestinalis sp. nov. is proposed. The type strain is YLB-11T (=MCCC 1A17441T=KCTC 72604T).
