Bacteria in the family Flavobacteriaceae are increasingly recognized to play important roles in the degradation of organic matter during and following algal blooms. A novel heterotrophic, rod-shaped, aerobic, yellow-pigmented and gliding bacterium was isolated from a seawater sample collected in the Bay of Blanes in the north-western Mediterranean Sea. Analysis of its 16S rRNA gene sequence, retrieved from the whole-genome sequence, showed that the bacterium was closely related to members of the genus Leeuwenhoekiella within the family Flavobacteriaceae, phylum Bacteroidetes. Phenotypic, genotypic, chemotaxonomic and phylogenetic analyses supported the creation of a novel species to accommodate this bacterium, for which the name Leeuwenhoekiella blandensis sp. nov. is proposed. The type strain is MED 217(T) (=CECT 7118(T)=CCUG 51940(T)).
黄杆菌科细菌在藻华期间及之后的有机物降解过程中发挥重要作用,这一点日益得到认可。从地中海西北部布拉内斯湾采集的海水样本中分离出一种新型异养、杆状、需氧、黄色色素沉着且能滑行的细菌。对从全基因组序列中检索到的其16S rRNA基因序列进行分析,结果表明该细菌与拟杆菌门黄杆菌科的列文虎克氏菌属成员密切相关。表型、基因型、化学分类和系统发育分析支持创建一个新物种来容纳这种细菌,为此提议将其命名为布拉内斯列文虎克氏菌(Leeuwenhoekiella blandensis sp. nov.)。模式菌株为MED 217(T)(=CECT 7118(T)=CCUG 51940(T))。
