Description of Albimonas marina sp. nov., isolated from sea sand on the Yellow Sea Coast.

ABSTRACT: A Gram-stain-negative, anaerobic, short rod-shaped bacterium, designated as CAU 1670^T, was isolated from a sea sand sample collected from Masiran Beach, Republic of Korea. Optimal growth conditions for the bacterium were identified as growth media containing 0-3% (w/v) NaCl at 30 °C and pH 5.5. Strain CAU 1670^T exhibited high 16S rRNA gene sequence similarity with Albimonas pacifica CGMCC 1.11030^T (97.8% similarity) and Albimonas donghaensis DSM 17,890^T (94.8% similarity). The phylogeny tree based on the 16 S rRNA gene and core housekeeping gene sequences showed that strain CAU 1670^T belonged to the genus Albimonas. The major fatty acids included summed feature 8 (C_18:1 ω7c and/or C_18:1 ω6c), and the predominant r
