A moderately halophilic hydrocarbon-degrading bacterium was isolated from continuous cultures containing a suspension of intertidal sediment from the German North Sea coast with hexadecane as the sole carbon source. On the basis of phenotypic characteristics, fatty acid analysis and 16S rDNA sequence analysis, it was considered to be a new species belonging to a new genus. It is a Gram-negative, aerobic, rod-shaped bacterium, whose cell size varies. It grows at concentrations of 0.5-15% (w/v) NaCl and utilizes a restricted spectrum of carbon sources. The G + C content of the DNA is 63.6 mol%. Comparative 16S rDNA studies show a clear affiliation of this bacterium to the gamma subclass of the class Proteobacteria. Comparison of phylogenetic data indicate that it is most closely related to Marinobacter hydrocarbonoclasticus (88.9% similarity in 16S rRNA gene sequence). Since it is impossible to find a sufficiently closely related species, we propose the name Fundibacter jadensis gen. nov., sp. nov. for the bacteria. The type strain is T9T (= DSM 12178T).
从含有德国北海沿岸潮间带沉积物悬浮液且以十六烷作为唯一碳源的连续培养物中分离出了一株中度嗜盐的烃降解细菌。基于表型特征、脂肪酸分析和16S rDNA序列分析，它被认为是一个新属中的一个新物种。它是革兰氏阴性、需氧、杆状细菌，细胞大小各异。它能在0.5 - 15%（w/v）NaCl浓度下生长，并利用有限的碳源谱。DNA的G + C含量为63.6 mol%。比较16S rDNA研究表明该细菌与变形菌纲γ亚类有明确的亲缘关系。系统发育数据比较表明它与嗜油海洋杆菌（16S rRNA基因序列相似度为88.9%）关系最为密切。由于无法找到亲缘关系足够近的物种，我们提议将该细菌命名为雅德氏底栖杆菌（Fundibacter jadensis），新属，新种。模式菌株为T9T（= DSM 12178T）。
