<i>Psychrobacter saeujeotis</i> sp. nov., a novel halophilic bacterium isolated from salted shrimp jeotgal.

ABSTRACT: A novel bacterial species, designated FBL11^T, was isolated from salted shrimp jeotgal, a traditional Korean fermented food sampled in the Republic of Korea. This strain showed the highest 16S rRNA gene sequence similarity to Psychrobacter halodurans strain F2608^T (NR_181578.1) at 98.3%. The genome size of strain FBL11^T was 3,294,493 bp with a G+C content of 42.5 mol%. Computation of relatedness indicates that strain FBL11^T shares the highest relatedness of 78.5% with Psychrobacter fulvigenes strain KC-40^T (NZ_CAJGZP01) and 25.2% with Psychrobacter piechaudii strain CIP110854^T (NZ_FUGE01), with values clearly below the cut-offs for species distinction.
