Cyclobacterium amurskyense sp nov., a novel marine bacterium isolated from sea water

The taxonomic position of a novel marine, heterotrophic, aerobic, pigmented, non-motile bacterium isolated from sea water was determined. 16S rRNA gene sequence analysis revealed that strain KMM 6143(T) is a member of the genus Cyclobacterium. The results of DNA-DNA hybridization experiments supported by phenotypic and chemotaxonomic data showed that the isolate represents a novel species of the genus Cyclobacterium, for which the name Cyclobacterium amurskyense sp. nov. is proposed. The type strain is KMM 6143(T) (=KCTC 12363(T)=LMG 23026(T)).
