Algoriphagus machipongonensis sp. nov., co-isolated with a colonial choanoflagellate.

ABSTRACT: A Gram-negative, non-motile, non-spore-forming bacterial strain, PR1(T), was isolated from a mud core sample containing colonial choanoflagellates near Hog Island, Virginia, USA. Strain PR1(T) grew optimally at 30 °C and with 3 % (w/v) NaCl. Strain PR1(T) contained MK-7 as the major menaquinone as well as carotenoids but lacked pigments of the flexirubin-type. The predominant fatty acids were iso-C(15 : 0) (29.4 %), iso-C(17 : 1)ω9c (18.5 %) and summed feature 3 (C(16 : 1)ω6c and/or C(16 : 1)ω7c; 11.3 %). The major polar lipids detected in strain PR1(T) were phosphatidylethanolamine, an unknown phospholipid, an aminophospholipid, an aminolipid and two lipids of unknown character. The DNA G+C content was 38.7 mol%. Phylogenetic analysis based on 16S rRNA gene sequences revealed that strain
