Genomic attributes and characterization of novel exopolysaccharide-producing bacterium Halomonas piscis sp. nov. isolated from jeotgal.

ABSTRACT: Halophilic bacterial strains, designated SG2L-4^T, SB1M4, and SB2L-5, were isolated from jeotgal, a traditional Korean fermented food. Cells are Gram-stain-negative, aerobic, non-motile, rod-shaped, catalase-positive, and oxidase-negative. Phylogenetic analysis based on the 16S rRNA gene sequence revealed that strain SG2L-4^T is closely related to Halomonas garicola KACC 18117^T with a similarity of 96.2%. The complete genome sequence of strain SG2L-4^T was 3,227,066 bp in size, with a genomic G + C content of 63.3 mol%. The average nucleotide identity and digital DNA-DNA hybridization values between strain SG2L-4^T and H. garicola KACC 18117^T were 90.5 and 40.7%, respectively. The optimal growth conditions for stra
