Description of Aequorivita aurantiaca sp. nov. Isolated from Coastal Sediment, and Comparative Genomic Analysis and Biogeographic Distribution of the Genus Aequorivita.

ABSTRACT: A novel Gram-stain-negative, facultatively anaerobic, and non-motile bacterial strain, designated SDUM287046^T, was isolated from the coastal sediments of Jingzi Port of Weihai, China. Cells of strain SDUM287046^T were rod-shaped with widths of 0.4-0.5 μm and lengths of 0.7-1.4 μm and could produce flexirubin-type pigments. Optimum growth of strain SDUM287046^T occurred at 33-35 °C, pH 7.0, and with 2% (w/v) NaCl. Oxidase activity was negative, but catalase activity was positive. Phylogenetic analysis based on 16S rRNA gene sequence revealed that strain SDUM287046^T was most closely related to Aequorivita aquimaris D-24^T (98.3%). The main cellular fatty acids were iso-C_15:0, anteiso-C_15:0, iso-C
