Serinicoccus kebangsaanensis sp. nov: A new bacterium isolated from the toxic diatom, Nitzschia navis-varingica.

ABSTRACT: Serinicoccus kebangsaanensis sp. nov strain P2D13-UKM is a new species of Gram-positive bacteria isolated from a toxic diatom, Nitzschia navis-varingica. It is a halophilic aerobic, oxidase-negative, catalase-positive, circular, and colonies with white colour. Based on the 16S rRNA gene, the closest species were Serinicoccus profundi MCCC 1A05965 strain 0714S6-1, 97.41%, and Serinicoccus hydrothermalis strain JLT9, 97.35%. This bacteria's predominant cellular fatty acids were iso-C15: 0 (30.1 %) and iso-C16: 0 (16.2 %). The polar lipids identified in this bacterium were phosphatidylglycerol, diphosphatidylglycerol, phosphatidylinositol, and an unknown glycolipid. The whole-genome sequence analysis of strain P2D13-UKM showed less than 85% similarity from other
