Aerobic Denitrification and Heterotrophic Sulfur Oxidation in the Genus Halomonas Revealed by Six Novel Species Characterizations and Genome-Based Analysis.

ABSTRACT: Bacteria of Halomonas are widely distributed in various environments and play a substantial role in the nutrient cycle. In this report, 14 strains capable of aerobic denitrification and heterotrophic sulfur oxidation were isolated from different habitats. Based on the phenotypic, genotypic, and chemotaxonomic analyses, these strains were considered to represent six novel species of the genus Halomonas, for which the names Halomonas zhangzhouensis sp. nov. type strain CXT3-11^T ( = MCCC 1A11036^T = KCTC 72087^T), Halomonas aerodenitrificans sp. nov. CYD-9^T ( = MCCC 1A11058^T = KCTC 72088^T), Halomonas sulfidoxydans sp. nov. CYN-1-2^T ( = MCCC 1A11059^T = KCTC 72089^T
