| lewinella agarilytica sp. nov., a novel marine bacterium of the phylum bacteroidetes, isolated from beach sediment. | a gram-negative, aerobic, light-orange-coloured, marine bacterium (designated sst-19(t)) was isolated from beach sediment in jeju, korea, and its taxonomic position was determined by means of a polyphasic approach. in a neighbour-joining phylogenetic tree based on 16s rrna gene sequences, strain sst-19(t) was positioned within the family 'saprospiraceae', class sphingobacteria, and formed a consistent cluster with lewinella persica atcc 23167(t) (94.7 % sequence similarity). the levels of 16s rr ... | 2007 | 18048730 |
