Seven Gram-negative strains, isolated in 1990 from a 10(6)-fold dilution series of seawater from Resurrection Bay, a deep fjord of the Gulf of Alaska, were identified in a polyphasic taxonomic study. Analysis of 16S rDNA sequences and DNA-homology studies confirmed the phylogenetic position of all strains in the genus Sphingomonas and further indicated that all of the strains constitute a single homogeneous genomic species, distinct from all validly described Sphingomonas species. The ability to differentiate the species, both phenotypically and chemotaxonomically, from its nearest neighbours justifies the proposal of a new species name, Sphingomonas alaskensis sp. nov., for this taxon. Strain LMG 18877T (= RB2256T = DSM 13593T) was selected as the type strain.
1990年从阿拉斯加湾一个深海峡湾——复活湾海水10⁶倍稀释系列中分离出的7株革兰氏阴性菌株，在一项多相分类研究中得到鉴定。16S rDNA序列分析和DNA同源性研究证实了所有菌株在鞘氨醇单胞菌属中的系统发育位置，并进一步表明所有菌株构成一个单一的同源基因组物种，与所有已有效描述的鞘氨醇单胞菌物种不同。该物种在表型和化学分类学上与其最接近的亲缘物种的区分能力证明了为此分类单元提议一个新物种名称——阿拉斯加鞘氨醇单胞菌（Sphingomonas alaskensis sp. nov.）是合理的。菌株LMG 18877T（= RB2256T = DSM 13593T）被选为模式菌株。
