A Gram-stain-negative, aerobic, pear to oval shaped, rosette forming bacterium with crateriform structures well distributed on the cell surface designated as strain JC647 was isolated from a sponge specimen belonging to the genus Spongia. Strain JC647 reproduces through budding. Strain JC647 shared highest 16S rRNA gene sequence identity of 99.9% with "Crateriforma conspicua" Mal65 (not a valid species name). The genome size of strain JC647 is 6.9 Mb with a G + C content of 57.8 mol %. For the resolution of the phylogenetic congruence of the novel strain, the phylogeny was also constructed with the sequences of ninety-two housekeeping genes. Based on the phylogenetic analyses, low dDDH value (51.0%), low gANI (93.2%), low AAI (94.9%) results, chemotaxonomic characteristics and differential physiological properties, strain JC647 is recognized as a new species of the genus "Crateriforma", for which we propose the name Crateriforma spongiae sp. nov. The type species is JC647 (= KCTC 72176 = NBRC 114068).
从属于海绵属的海绵标本中分离到一株革兰氏阴性、需氧、呈梨形到椭圆形、具有良好分布的坑状结构的玫瑰形成菌,命名为 JC647 菌株。JC647 菌株通过出芽繁殖。JC647 菌株与“Crateriforma conspicua”Mal65(不是有效种名)的 16S rRNA 基因序列相似度最高,为 99.9%。JC647 菌株的基因组大小为 6.9Mb,GC 含量为 57.8mol%。为了解决新菌株的系统发育一致性问题,还利用 92 个看家基因的序列构建了系统发育树。基于系统发育分析、低 dDDH 值(51.0%)、低 gANI(93.2%)、低 AAI(94.9%)结果、化学生态特征和差异生理特性,JC647 菌株被认定为“Crateriforma”属的一个新种,我们将其命名为 Crateriforma spongiae sp. nov. 模式种为 JC647(=KCTC 72176=NBRC 114068)。
