zooshikella ganghwensis gen. nov., sp. nov., isolated from tidal flat sediments.	two red pigment-producing bacterial strains with a metallic green sheen were isolated from a sediment sample of getbol, the korean tidal flat. phylogenetic analysis based on 16s rdna sequences showed that these isolates represent a phyletic lineage within the gamma-proteobacteria that is distantly related to the genus hahella. no bacterial species with validly published names showed > or = 92% 16s rrna similarity with the getbol isolates. the strains were gram-negative, chemo-organotrophic, aero ...	2003	12892120
endozoicomonas elysicola gen. nov., sp. nov., a gamma-proteobacterium isolated from the sea slug elysia ornata.	a gram-negative, strictly aerobic, rod-formed bacterium, strain mkt110(t), was isolated from a mollusk, the sea slug elysia ornata collected in seawater off the coast of izu-miyake island, japan at a depth of 15m. comparative 16s rrna gene sequences analysis indicated that the isolate mkt110(t) constituted a novel lineage in gamma-proteobacteria related to the genera zooshikella, oceanospirillum, microbulbifer, marinobacter, saccharospirillum and pseudomonas. the strain mkt110(t) was closely rel ...	2007	16904280
litoricolaceae fam. nov., to include litoricola lipolytica gen. nov., sp. nov., a marine bacterium belonging to the order oceanospirillales.	a gram-negative, non-motile, chemoheterotrophic, facultatively aerobic, short-rod-shaped bacterium, designated imcc1097(t), was isolated from coastal seawater (10 m depth) of the east sea, korea. the temperature, ph and nacl ranges for growth were 15-30 degrees c, ph 5.0-10.0 and 1.5-10 % nacl. the colonies of the strain were very small, having a mean diameter of 0.05 mm. 16s rrna gene sequence data indicated that the strain was most closely related to genera within the class gammaproteobacteria ...	2007	17684259
kistimonas asteriae gen. nov., sp. nov., a gammaproteobacterium isolated from asterias amurensis.	a novel marine bacterium, strain kmd 001(t), was isolated from the starfish asterias amurensis, which inhabits the east sea of korea. strain kmd 001(t) was aerobic, light-yellow pigmented and gram-stain-negative. analyses of the 16s rrna gene sequence revealed that strain kmd 001(t) represents a novel lineage within the class gammaproteobacteria. strain kmd 001(t) is closely related to the genera endozoicomonas and zooshikella, which belong to the family hahellaceae and to the order oceanospiril ...	2010	19661507
dietary administration of zooshikella sp. enhance the innate immune response and disease resistance of paralichthys olivaceus against sreptococcus iniae.	we report the growth, innate immune response, and disease resistance in olive flounder (paralichthys olivaceus) challenged with streptococcus iniae after feeding with diet enriched with zooshikella sp. strain je-34 three different concentration i.e. low (3.4 x 10(4), n = 50), medium (3.5 x 10(6), n = 50), and high (3.4 x 10(8), n = 50) cfu ml(-1) supplemented diets, the changes were monitored on weeks 1, 2, 4, 8, 12, and 16. with all diets the innate immune parameters, such as superoxide anion p ...	2010	20206273
a novel marine bacterial species zooshikella rubidus s1-1 produces exceptionally both of prodigiosin and cycloprodigiosin as major metabolic constituents.	a gram-negative, red pigment-producing marine bacterial strain, designated s1-1, was isolated from the tidal flat sediment of the yellow sea, korea. on the basis of phenotypic, phylogenetic and genetic data, strain s1-1 (kctc 11448bp) represented a new species of the genus zooshikella. thus, we propose the name zooshikella rubidus sp. nov. liquid chromatography and mass spectrometry of the red pigments produced by strain s1-1 revealed that the major metabolic compounds were prodigiosin and cyclo ...	2011	21642414
