A Gram-negative, rod-shaped, phototrophic bacterium (JA181(T)) was isolated from a tidal water sample. On the basis of 16S rRNA gene sequence similarity, strain JA181(T) was shown to belong to the class Alphaproteobacteria, most closely related to Rhodovulum sulfidophilum (97.8 % similarity to the type strain), Rhodovulum adriaticum (93 %), Rhodovulum robiginosum (93 %), Rhodovulum iodosum (94 %), Rhodovulum imhoffii (94 %), Rhodovulum strictum (95 %), Rhodovulum euryhalinum (94.6 %) and Rhodovulum marinum (94.6 %). DNA-DNA hybridization with Rdv. sulfidophilum DSM 1374(T) (relatedness of 39 % with strain JA181(T)) and physiological and biochemical tests allowed genotypic and phenotypic differentiation of strain JA181(T) from the eight Rhodovulum species with validly published names. Strain JA181(T) therefore represents a novel species, for which the name Rhodovulum visakhapatnamense sp. nov. is proposed (type strain JA181(T) =JCM 13531(T) =ATCC BAA-1274(T) =DSM 17937(T)).
从一份潮水样本中分离出了一株革兰氏阴性、杆状、光合细菌(JA181(T))。基于16S rRNA基因序列相似性,菌株JA181(T)被证明属于α-变形菌纲,与嗜硫红假单胞菌(与模式菌株的相似性为97.8%)、亚得里亚海红假单胞菌(93%)、铁锈红假单胞菌(93%)、碘红假单胞菌(94%)、因霍夫红假单胞菌(94%)、严格红假单胞菌(95%)、广盐红假单胞菌(94.6%)和海洋红假单胞菌(94.6%)关系最为密切。与嗜硫红假单胞菌DSM 1374(T)的DNA-DNA杂交(与菌株JA181(T)的相关性为39%)以及生理生化测试使得菌株JA181(T)能够与已有效发表名称的八种红假单胞菌进行基因型和表型区分。因此,菌株JA181(T)代表了一个新物种,为此提出名为维沙卡帕特南红假单胞菌(Rhodovulum visakhapatnamense)的新种(模式菌株JA181(T)=JCM 13531(T)=ATCC BAA-1274(T)=DSM 17937(T))。
