Genomic Insights into Marinovum sedimenti sp. nov., Isolated from Okhotsk Sea Bottom Sediments, Suggest Plasmid-Mediated Strain-Specific Motility.

ABSTRACT: Two Gram-negative aerobic halophilic bacteria, designated KMM 9989^T and KMM 9879, were isolated from a bottom sediment sample of the Okhotsk Sea, Russia. The novel strains grew in 0.5-4% NaCl, at 5-35 °C and pH 5.5-10.0. Phylogenetic analyses based on 16S rRNA gene and whole genome sequences placed strains KMM 9989^T and KMM 9879 within the family Roseobacteraceae, where they were clustered with their closest relative Marinovum algicola KCTC 22095^T. The average nucleotide identity (ANI) between strain KMM 9989^T and Marinovum algicola KCTC 22095^T was 81.4%. The level of digital DNA-DNA hybridization (dDDH) between the novel isolates KMM 9989^T and KMM 9879 was 97%, while between strain KMM 9989^T
