amphritea japonica sp. nov. and amphritea balenae sp. nov., isolated from the sediment adjacent to sperm whale carcasses off kagoshima, japan.	two novel species were isolated from the sediment adjacent to sperm whale carcasses off kagoshima, japan, at a depth of about 230 m. the isolated strains, jamm 1866(t), jamm 1548 and jamm 1525(t), were gram-negative, rod-shaped, non-spore-forming and motile by means of a single polar or bipolar flagellum. phylogenetic analysis based on 16s rrna gene sequences of strains jamm 1866(t) and jamm 1548 indicated a relationship to the symbiotic bacterial clone r21 of osedax japonicus (100 % sequence si ...	2008	19060065
psychromonas japonica sp. nov., psychromonas aquimarina sp. nov., psychromonas macrocephali sp. nov. and psychromonas ossibalaenae sp. nov., psychrotrophic bacteria isolated from sediment adjacent to sperm whale carcasses off kagoshima, japan.	four novel species of psychrotrophic bacteria were isolated from sediment adjacent to sperm whale carcasses off kagoshima, japan, at a depth of 228-250 m. cells of the five isolated strains, jamm 0394(t), jamm 0404(t), jamm 0415(t), jamm 0700 and jamm 0738(t), were gram-negative, rod-shaped, non-sporulating and motile by means of a single polar flagellum. the novel strains were able to produce isoprenoid quinone q-8 as the major component. the predominant fatty acids were c(16 : 0) and c(16 : 1) ...	2008	18599721
neptunomonas japonica sp. nov., an osedax japonicus symbiont-like bacterium isolated from sediment adjacent to sperm whale carcasses off kagoshima, japan.	novel bacterial species were isolated from sediments adjacent to sperm whale carcasses off kagoshima, japan, at a depth of 226-246 m. the isolated strains, jamm 0745t, jamm 1380, jamm 1475 and jamm 1610, were gram-negative, rod-shaped, non-spore-forming and motile by means of a single polar or subterminal flagellum. phylogenetic analysis based on 16s rrna gene sequences of the novel isolates indicated a relationship to a symbiotic bacterial clone of the polychaete osedax japonicus (99.6-99.9 % s ...	2008	18398184
aquimarina macrocephali sp. nov., isolated from sediment adjacent to sperm whale carcasses.	a gram-negative, rod-shaped, non-spore-forming, strictly aerobic strain with gliding motility, designated jamb n27(t), was isolated from sediment adjacent to sperm whale carcasses off kagoshima, japan, at a depth of 219 m. strain jamb n27(t) contained mk-6 as the major isoprenoid quinone and iso-c₁₅:₀, iso-c₁₅:₁, c₁₆:₁ and iso-c₁₇:₁ as the predominant fatty acids. casein, chitin, gelatin and starch were degraded. phylogenetic analysis based on 16s rrna gene sequences showed that strain jamb n27( ...	2010	19915102
