Phenotypic and Genomic Characterization of <i>Oceanisphaera submarina</i> sp. nov. Isolated from the Sea of Japan Bottom Sediments.

ABSTRACT: A Gram-negative aerobic, motile bacterium KMM 10153^T was isolated from bottom sediment sampled from the Sea of Japan at a depth of 256 m, Russia. Strain KMM 10153^T grew in 0-12% NaCl at temperatures ranging from 4 to 42 °C and produced brown diffusible pigments. Based on the 16S rRNA gene and whole genome sequences analyses, novel bacterium KMM 10153^T was affiliated with the genus Oceanisphaera (phylum Pseudomonadota) showing the highest 16S rRNA gene sequence similarities of 98.94% to Oceanisphaera arctica KCTC 23013^T, 98.15% to Oceanisphaera donghaensis BL1^T, and similarity values of <98% to other validly described Oceanisphaera species.
