A Gram-staining-negative, oxidase-positive, strictly aerobic rod-shaped bacterium, designated strain PT1T, was isolated from the laboratory-reared larvae of the sea cucumber Apostichopus japonicus. A phylogenetic analysis based on the 16S rRNA gene nucleotide sequences revealed that PT1T was closely related to Neptuniibacter marinus ATR 1.1T (= CECT 8938T = DSM 100783T) and Neptuniibacter caesariensis MED92T (= CECT 7075T = CCUG 52065T) showing 98.2% and 98.1% sequence similarity, respectively. However, the average nucleotide identity (ANI) and in silico DNA-DNA hybridization (DDH) values among these three strains were 72.0%-74.8% and 18.3%-19.5% among related Neptuniibacter species, which were below 95% and 70%, respectively, confirming the novel status of PT1T. The average amino acid identity (AAI) values of PT1T showing 74-77% among those strains indicated PT1T is a new species in the genus Neptuniibacter. Based on the genome-based taxonomic approach, Neptuniibacter victor sp. nov. is proposed for PT1T. The type strain is PT1T (JCM 35563T = LMG 32868T).
一株革兰氏阴性、氧化酶阳性、严格需氧的杆状细菌,被命名为 PT1T 菌株,从人工养殖的海参(Apostichopus japonicus)幼虫中分离得到。基于 16S rRNA 基因核苷酸序列的系统发育分析表明,PT1T 与 Neptuniibacter marinus ATR 1.1T(= CECT 8938T = DSM 100783T)和 Neptuniibacter caesariensis MED92T(= CECT 7075T = CCUG 52065T)密切相关,序列相似性分别为 98.2%和 98.1%。然而,这三个菌株之间的平均核苷酸同一性(ANI)和 DNA-DNA 杂交(DDH)值在 72.0%-74.8%和 18.3%-19.5%之间,与相关 Neptuniibacter 种之间的 95%和 70%分别低于确认 PT1T 的新状态。PT1T 的平均氨基酸同一性(AAI)值在这些菌株中为 74-77%,表明 PT1T 是 Neptuniibacter 属的一个新种。基于基于基因组的分类方法,提议将 PT1T 命名为 Neptuniibacter victor sp. nov. 其模式菌株为 PT1T(JCM 35563T = LMG 32868T)。
