TLDR
Two Gram-negative, motile, aerobic bacterial strains, designated B2(T) and 1_C16_27(T), were respectively isolated from a seawater sample collected from the East China Sea and a semi-coke sample from north-eastern Estonia and their genetic, phenotypic and chemotaxonomic properties were studied.Abstract:
Two Gram-negative, motile, aerobic bacterial strains, designated B2T and 1_C16_27T, were respectively isolated from a seawater sample collected from the East China Sea and a semi-coke sample from north-eastern Estonia. Their genetic, phenotypic and chemotaxonomic properties were studied. The isolates were short rods with polar flagella and were positive for catalase and oxidase activities. Q-10 was the predominant respiratory ubiquinone. The major polar lipids were phosphatidylglycerol, diphosphatidylglycerol and two unidentified glycolipids. The major fatty acids were nonadecanoic (C19 : 0 cyclo), octadecanoic (C18 : 0 and C18 : 0 3-OH), octadecenoic (C18 : 1) and hexadecanoic (C16 : 0) acids. The G+C content of the genomic DNA was 58.1–59.3 mol%. 16S rRNA gene sequence analysis revealed that the two isolates represent a distinct lineage within the family Hyphomicrobiaceae. The phylogenetically closest relatives were Cucumibacter (92.7–93.7 % 16S rRNA gene sequence similarity), Devosia (92.9–94.4 %) and Zhangella (91.7–92.1 %). Differential phenotypic properties, together with phylogenetic and genetic distinctiveness, revealed that strains B2T and 1_C16_27T could be differentiated from each other and from members of the genera Cucumibacter, Devosia and Zhangella. Therefore, it is proposed that strains B2T and 1_C16_27T represent two novel species in a new genus, for which the names Pelagibacterium halotolerans gen. nov., sp. nov. (the type species; type strain B2T = CGMCC 1.7692T = JCM 15775T) and Pelagibacterium luteolum sp. nov. (type strain 1_C16_27T = CGMCC 1.10267T = JCM 16552T = CELMS EEUT 1C1627T) are proposed.read more

TL;DR: Three-dimensional modeling of PE10 suggested that the high negative electrostatic potential on the surface may relevant to its tolerance to high salt environment and with this halotolerance property, PE10 could be a candidate for industrial use.
