| description of endozoicomonas euniceicola sp. nov. and endozoicomonas gorgoniicola sp. nov., bacteria isolated from the octocorals eunicea fusca and plexaura sp., and an emended description of the genus endozoicomonas. | two gram-negative, facultatively anaerobic, rod-shaped bacteria, strains ef212(t) and ps125(t), were isolated from the octocorals eunicea fusca and plexaura sp., respectively. ef212(t) was isolated from a specimen of e. fusca collected off the coast of florida, usa, and ps125(t) was isolated from a specimen of plexaura sp. collected off the coast of bimini, bahamas. analysis of the nearly full-length 16s rrna gene sequences showed that these novel strains were most closely related to endozoicomo ... | 2013 | 23832969 |
