endozoicomonas elysicola gen. nov., sp. nov., a gamma-proteobacterium isolated from the sea slug elysia ornata.	a gram-negative, strictly aerobic, rod-formed bacterium, strain mkt110(t), was isolated from a mollusk, the sea slug elysia ornata collected in seawater off the coast of izu-miyake island, japan at a depth of 15m. comparative 16s rrna gene sequences analysis indicated that the isolate mkt110(t) constituted a novel lineage in gamma-proteobacteria related to the genera zooshikella, oceanospirillum, microbulbifer, marinobacter, saccharospirillum and pseudomonas. the strain mkt110(t) was closely rel ...	2007	16904280
endozoicomonas montiporae sp. nov., isolated from the encrusting pore coral montipora aequituberculata.	a gram-negative, aerobic, rod-shaped bacterium, designated strain cl-33(t), was isolated from the encrusting pore coral montipora aequituberculata collected from seawater off the coast of southern taiwan. 16s rrna gene sequence analysis showed that the strain clustered closely with endozoicomonas elysicola mkt110(t) (96.7 % similarity). the novel strain required nacl for growth and exhibited optimal growth at 25 degrees c and in the presence of 2-3 % nacl. predominant cellular fatty acids were s ...	2010	19666790
kistimonas asteriae gen. nov., sp. nov., a gammaproteobacterium isolated from asterias amurensis.	a novel marine bacterium, strain kmd 001(t), was isolated from the starfish asterias amurensis, which inhabits the east sea of korea. strain kmd 001(t) was aerobic, light-yellow pigmented and gram-stain-negative. analyses of the 16s rrna gene sequence revealed that strain kmd 001(t) represents a novel lineage within the class gammaproteobacteria. strain kmd 001(t) is closely related to the genera endozoicomonas and zooshikella, which belong to the family hahellaceae and to the order oceanospiril ...	2010	19661507
umboniibacter marinipuniceus gen. nov., sp. nov., a marine gammaproteobacterium isolated from the mollusc umbonium costatum from the sea of japan.	two bacterial strains, kmm 3891(t) and kmm 3892, were isolated from internal tissues of the marine mollusc umbonium costatum collected from the sea of japan. the novel isolates were gram-negative, aerobic, faint pink-reddish-pigmented, rod-shaped, non-motile, stenohaline and psychrotolerant bacteria that were unable to degrade most tested complex polysaccharides. polar lipids consisted of phosphatidylethanolamine, phosphatidylglycerol and diphosphatidylglycerol. fatty acid analysis revealed c(17 ...	2010	19654350
