sp. nov., isolated from marine aluminium residues from the Mediterranean sea.

A novel Gram-reaction-negative, facultatively anaerobic, rod-shaped, non-motile, non-spore forming, orange-pigmented bacterium identified as M10.2A, was isolated from marine residues submerged on the Malva-rosa beach (València, Spain), on the western coast of the Mediterranean Sea. This strain was catalase-positive and oxidase-negative and grew under mesophilic, neutrophilic and halophilic conditions. With respect to the 16S rRNA gene sequences, M10.2A showed similarities with DSM 19839 and IC154 (97.57 and 97.50 % gene sequence similarity, respectively). The genome of M10.2A was sequenced and has been deposited in the DDBJ/ENA/GenBank databases under the accession code JAKGTH000000000. The genomic DNA G+C content was 36.13 %. Its adscription to a novel species of the genus was confirmed by the genomic indexes average nucleotide identity by blast (ANIb) and digital DNA-DNA hybridisation (dDDH). The major fatty acids were iso-C, iso-CG, iso-C 3-OH, iso-C 3-OH and summed feature 3 (Cω7/Cω6). According to the results of this polyphasic study, strain M10.2A represents a novel species of the genus , for which name sp. nov. (type strain M10.2A = CECT 30308 = DSM 112385) is proposed.
