Muricauda brasiliensis sp. nov., isolated from a mat-forming cyanobacterial culture.

ABSTRACT: Strain K001 was isolated from a cyanobacterial culture derived from Abrolhos, a reef bank microbial mat (South Atlantic Ocean-Brazil). Cells of K001 are Gram stain-negative, catalase and oxidase-positive, non-motile, rod-shaped, and with or without appendages. Phylogenetic analysis based on 16S rRNA gene sequences showed that strain K001 belongs to the genus Muricauda. The highest strain K001 16S rRNA gene identity, ANI, and dDDH, respectively, are with M. aquimarina (98.90%, 79.23, 21.60%), M. ruestringensis (98.20%, 80.82, 23.40%), and M. lutimaris (97.86%, 79.23, 22.70%). The strain grows at 15-37 °C and between 0.5 and 10% NaCl. The major fatty acids of strain K001 are iso-C_15:0, iso-C_15:1 G, iso-C_17:0 3-OH, and summed feature 3 (C_16:1 ω6c an
