| thalassomonas viridans gen. nov., sp. nov., a novel marine gamma-proteobacterium. | a new genus and species are proposed for two halophilic, strictly aerobic, chemo-organotrophic, marine bacterial strains. these bacteria are gram-negative, motile rods isolated from oysters cultivated off the mediterranean coast at valencia (spain). they produce green/blue-green diffusible pigment. the g+c content of the dna of the proposed type strain (xom25t) is 48.4 mol %. a 16s rrna gene sequence analysis of the two strains has shown that the new isolates represent a branch within the gamma- ... | 2001 | 11491324 |
