Polyphasic Characterization and Genomic Insights into an Aerobic Denitrifying Bacterium, Shewanella zhuhaiensis sp. nov., Isolated from a Tidal Flat Sediment.

ABSTRACT: A new, facultatively anaerobic, light-yellow, and rod-shaped bacterium designated as 3B26^T isolated from Qi'ao Island's tidal flat sediment was identified. Strain 3B26^T can hydrolyze gelatin, aesculin, and skim milk. The major cellular fatty acids were identified as iso-C_15:0, referred to as summed feature 3, and C_16:0; the polar lipids consisted of phosphatidylethanolamine, phosphatidylglycerol, and phospholipid; and the quinones contained Q-7, Q-8, MK-7, and MMK7. The genomic size of strain 3B26^T was 4,682,650 bp, and its genomic DNA G + C content was 54.8%. While a 16S rRNA gene-based phylogenetic analysis confirmed that strain 3B26^T belongs to the genus Shewanella, both phylogenomic inference and genomic compariso
