title: Description ofLuteimonas pelagiasp. nov., isolated from marine sediment, and emended descriptions ofLuteimonas aquatica, Luteimonas composti, Luteimonas mephitis, Lysobacter enzymogenesandLysobacter panaciterrae.
abstract: An aerobic, Gram-stain-negative, non-motile, rod-shaped bacterium, designated strain CC-VAM-7T, was isolated from a marine sediment sample collected at Kending, Taiwan. The isolate grew optimally at pH 7.0 and 30 °C and in the presence of 4 % (w/v) NaCl. The most closely related strains in terms of 16S rRNA gene sequence similarity were the type strains ofLuteimonas huabeiensis(95.2 %) andLysobacter defluvii(95.0 %). Phylogenetic analyses based on 16S rRNA gene sequences revealed that strain CC-VAM-7Tclustered with members of the genusLuteimonas. Strain CC-VAM-7Tpossessed C15 : 1ω5c, C16 : 1ω5c, iso-C11 : 0, iso-C15 : 0, iso-C16 : 0, iso-C17 : 0, iso-C11 : 03-OH and summed feature 9 (10-methyl C16 : 0and/or iso-C17 : 1ω9c) as predominant fatty acids. The polar lipid profile contained major amounts of diphosphatidylglycerol, phosphatidylglycerol and phosphatidylethanolamine and moderate amounts of an unidentified phospholipid. The genomic DNA G+C content was 73.4 mol%. Ubiquinone 8 (Q-8) was the predominant respiratory quinone. According to its distinct phylogenetic, phenotypic and chemotaxonomic features, which were in line with those of other members of the genusLuteimonas, strain CC-VAM-7Tis proposed to represent a novel species within the genusLuteimonas, for which the nameLuteimonas pelagiasp. nov. is proposed. The type strain is CC-VAM-7T( = BCRC 80558T= JCM 18792T). In addition, we propose emended descriptions ofLuteimonas aquaticaChouet al.2008,Luteimonas compostiYounget al.2007,Luteimonas mephitisFinkmannet al.2000,Lysobacter enzymogenesChristensen and Cook 1978 andLysobacter panaciterraeTenet al.2009.
