Three novel marine species of the genus Reichenbachiella exhibiting degradation of complex polysaccharides.

ABSTRACT: Three novel strains designated ABR2-5^T, BKB1-1^T, and WSW4-B4^T belonging to the genus Reichenbachiella of the phylum Bacteroidota were isolated from algae and mud samples collected in the West Sea, Korea. All three strains were enriched for genes encoding up to 216 carbohydrate-active enzymes (CAZymes), which participate in the degradation of agar, alginate, carrageenan, laminarin, and starch. The 16S rRNA sequence similarities among the three novel isolates were 94.0%-94.7%, and against all three existing species in the genus Reichenbachiella they were 93.6%-97.2%. The genome sizes of the strains ABR2-5^T, BKB1-1^T, and WSW4-B4^T were 5.5, 4.4, and 5.0 Mb, respectively, and the GC content ranged from 41.1%-
