Phylogenetic analysis, metabolic profiling, and environmental adaptation of strain LCG007: a novel Rhodobacteraceae isolated from the East China Sea intertidal zone.

ABSTRACT: Strain LCG007, isolated from Lu Chao Harbor's intertidal water, phylogenetically represents a novel genus within the family Rhodobacteraceae. Metabolically, it possesses a wide array of amino acid metabolic genes that enable it to thrive on both amino acids or peptides. Also, it could hydrolyze peptides containing D-amino acids, highlighting its potential role in the cycling of refractory organic matter. Moreover, strain LCG007 could utilize various carbohydrates, including mannopine and D-apiose-compounds primarily derived from terrestrial plants-demonstrating its capacity to degrade terrestrial organic matter. It could assimilate ammonia, nitrate and nitrite, and utilizes organic nitrogen sources such as polyamines, along with diverse organic and inorganic phosphorus and sulfur sources.
