| shewanella spongiae sp. nov., isolated from a marine sponge. | a psychrophilic bacterium, designated strain hj039(t), was isolated from a marine sponge collected in the east sea of korea (also known as the sea of japan). cells were gram-negative, motile and rod-shaped (1.8-3.54 microm x 0.27-0.73 microm). growth was observed between 5 and 26 degrees c (optimum 15 degrees c), at ph 5.0-8.5 (optimum ph 6.0-6.5) and in the presence of 0-6.0 % nacl (optimum 2.0 %). the 16s rrna gene sequence of strain hj039(t) showed high levels of similarity (93.7-95.4 %) with ... | 2006 | 17158991 |
| shewanella surugensis sp. nov., shewanella kaireitica sp. nov. and shewanella abyssi sp. nov., isolated from deep-sea sediments of suruga bay, japan. | six strains representing three novel species were isolated from deep-sea sediment in suruga bay, japan, at a depth of 2406-2409 m. on the basis of 16s rrna gene sequence analysis, the isolated strains, c931(t), c941(t), d943, c952, d954 and c959(t), are closely affiliated with members of the genus shewanella. the hybridization values for dna-dna relatedness between these strains and shewanella reference strains were significantly lower than that which is accepted as the phylogenetic definition o ... | 2006 | 16825637 |
