| endozoicomonas montiporae sp. nov., isolated from the encrusting pore coral montipora aequituberculata. | a gram-negative, aerobic, rod-shaped bacterium, designated strain cl-33(t), was isolated from the encrusting pore coral montipora aequituberculata collected from seawater off the coast of southern taiwan. 16s rrna gene sequence analysis showed that the strain clustered closely with endozoicomonas elysicola mkt110(t) (96.7 % similarity). the novel strain required nacl for growth and exhibited optimal growth at 25 degrees c and in the presence of 2-3 % nacl. predominant cellular fatty acids were s ... | 2010 | 19666790 |
