title: Comamonas piscissp. nov., isolated from the intestine of a Korean rockfish,Sebastes schlegelii.
abstract: A novel Gram-stain-negative, obligately aerobic, non-motile and coccus-shaped bacterium, designated strain CN1T, was isolated from the intestine of a Korean rockfish,Sebastes schlegelii. The optimum growth condition for strain CN1Twas 25 °C, pH 7 and 0-1 % (w/v) NaCl. Phylogenetic analysis based on 16S rRNA gene sequences showed that strain CN1Twas in the genusComamonasand that the nearest type strain wasComamonas koreensisYH12Twith 98.65 % 16S rRNA gene sequence similarity. The primary cellular fatty acids of strain CN1Twere summed feature 3 (comprised of C16 : 1ω7cand/or C16 : 1ω6c), C16 : 0and summed feature 8 (comprised of C18 : 1ω6cand/or C18 : 1ω7c). The predominant isoprenoid quinone was ubiquinone Q-8. The polar lipids were phosphatidylglycerol, phosphatidylethanolamine, an unidentified lipid, an unidentified phospholipid and two aminophospholipids. The DNA G+C content was 65.5 mol%. The phenotypic, phylogenetic and genotypic analyses indicated that strain CN1Trepresents a novel species of the genusComamonas, for which the nameComamonas piscissp. nov. is proposed. The type strain is CN1T( = KACC 18403T= JCM 30718T).
