| planomicrobium chinense sp. nov., isolated from coastal sediment, and transfer of planococcus psychrophilus and planococcus alkanoclasticus to planomicrobium as planomicrobium psychrophilum comb. nov. and planomicrobium alkanoclasticum comb. nov. | an aerobic, motile, gram-positive strain, dx3-12(t), was isolated from coastal sediment of the eastern china sea in fujian province, china, and was identified by means of polyphasic taxonomy. on the basis of 16s rrna gene sequence similarity, strain dx3-12(t) was closely related to members of the genera planomicrobium and planococcus. 16s rrna gene sequence similarities between strain dx3-12(t) and planomicrobium mcmeekinii, planomicrobium koreense, planomicrobium okeanokoites, planococcus psych ... | 2005 | 15774646 |
