Taxonomy of marine bacteria: Beneckea nigrapulchrituda sp. n.
Fourteen bacterial strains of marine origin, which formed colonies containing crystals of a blue-black pigment, were submitted to a morphological, physiological, and nutritional characterization. The results indicated that these organisms form a new species of the genus Beneckea.
