Description and Whole-Genome Sequencing of Mariniflexile litorale sp. nov., Isolated from the Shallow Sediments of the Sea of Japan.

ABSTRACT: A Gram-negative, aerobic, rod-shaped, non-motile, yellow-pigmented bacterium, KMM 9835^T, was isolated from the sediment sample obtained from the Amur Bay of the Sea of Japan seashore, Russia. Phylogenetic analyses based on the 16S rRNA gene and whole genome sequences positioned the novel strain KMM 9835^T in the genus Mariniflexile as a separate line sharing the highest 16S rRNA gene sequence similarities of 96.6% and 96.2% with Mariniflexile soesokkakense RSSK-9^T and Mariniflexile fucanivorans SW5^T, respectively, and similarity values of <96% to other recognized Mariniflexile species. The average nucleotide identity and digital DNA-DNA hybridization values between strain KMM 9835^T and M. soesokkakense
