aestuariibacter salexigens gen. nov., sp. nov. and aestuariibacter halophilus sp. nov., isolated from tidal flat sediment, and emended description of alteromonas macleodii.	two strictly aerobic, halophilic strains of the gamma-proteobacteria, designated jc2042(t) and jc2043(t), were obtained from a sediment sample of getbol, the korean tidal flat. comparative 16s rdna sequence studies revealed that the test strains were related most closely to the type strains of the genera alteromonas (93.5-95.5 %) and glaciecola (91.1-93.3 %). phylogenetic analyses demonstrated that strains jc2042(t) and jc2043(t) formed a distinct monophyletic clade within the family alteromonad ...	2004	15023977
salinimonas chungwhensis gen. nov., sp. nov., a moderately halophilic bacterium from a solar saltern in korea.	a halophilic non-spore-forming bacterium of the gamma-proteobacteria, designated strain bh030046t, was isolated from a solar saltern in korea. cells were gram-negative, chemoheterotrophic, short rod-shaped and motile with a polar flagellum. comparative 16s rrna gene sequence analysis revealed that strain bh030046t formed a distinct lineage in the family alteromonadaceae and was distinguished from its closest related genera alteromonas (91.4-94.8 %), aestuariibacter (92.1-93.5 %) and glaciecola ( ...	2005	15653881
bowmanella denitrificans gen. nov., sp. nov., a denitrifying bacterium isolated from seawater from an-ping harbour, taiwan.	a heterotrophic, non-fermentative, denitrifying isolate, designated strain bd1(t), was obtained from a seawater sample collected in the shallow coastal region of an-ping harbour, tainan, taiwan. the cells of strain bd1(t) were gram-negative. cells grown in broth cultures were curved rods that were motile by means of a single polar flagellum. growth occurred between 10 and 40 degrees c, with an optimum at 30-35 degrees c. strain bd1(t) grew in nacl levels of 0-10 %, with better growth occurring a ...	2006	17012580
aliagarivorans marinus gen. nov., sp. nov. and aliagarivorans taiwanensis sp. nov., facultatively anaerobic marine bacteria capable of agar degradation.	two agarolytic strains of gram-negative, heterotrophic, facultatively anaerobic, marine bacteria, designated aam1t and aat1t, were isolated from seawater samples collected in the shallow coastal region of an-ping harbour, tainan, taiwan. cells grown in broth cultures were straight rods that were motile by means of a single polar flagellum. the two isolates required nacl for growth and grew optimally at about 25-30 degrees c, in 2-4% nacl and at ph 8. they grew aerobically and could achieve anaer ...	2009	19567569
aestuariibacter litoralis sp. nov., isolated from a sandy sediment of the sea of japan.	the phenotypic and phylogenetic characteristics of an aerobic, gram-negative, motile, non-pigmented alteromonas-like bacterium (designated strain kmm 3894(t)), isolated from a sandy sediment sample collected offshore of the sea of japan, were investigated. comparative 16s rrna gene sequence analysis revealed that strain kmm 3894(t) belonged to the genus aestuariibacter and was most closely related to aestuariibacter halophilus jc2043(t) (95.5 % sequence similarity). fatty acid analysis showed c( ...	2010	19651716
aestuariibacter aggregatus sp. nov., a moderately halophilic bacterium isolated from seawater of the yellow sea.	a gram-negative, non-spore-forming, catalase- and oxidase-positive, strictly aerobic, short rod-shaped bacterium with a single, polar flagellum, designated strain wh169(t), was isolated from seawater of the yellow sea in china. buds and prosthecae were formed when the organism was grown at 20 degrees c for 12 days on marine 2216e agar. the organism grew optimally at 37 degrees c, in ph 7.0-8.0, and in the presence of 4.0-6.0% w/v nacl. growth did not occur in a medium without na(+) or sea salts. ...	2010	20528939
catenovulum agarivorans gen. nov. sp. nov., a peritrichously flagellated, catenated, agar-hydrolyzing {gamma}-proteobacterium isolated from the yellow sea.	a novel gram-negative, strictly aerobic, agar-hydrolyzing bacterium designated ym01(t) was isolated from sea water samples collected from the yellow sea (coastal region of qingdao, p.r. china). cells were rod-shaped, peritrichously flagellated and formed long chains by end-to-end. this isolate absolutely required na(+) ions but not sea water for growth, and grew optimally at about 28° c, 2 % nacl and ph 8-9. this isolate could not be cultured in marine broth 2216 without agar. ym01(t) was able t ...	2011	21257691
