( 2011 ) Description of Spongiibacter borealis sp. nov., isolated from Arctic seawater, and reclassification of Melitea salexigens Urios et al. 2008 as a later heterotypic synonym of Spongiibacter marinus Graeber et al. 2008 with emended descriptions of the genus Spongiibacter and Spongiibacter marinus. PMID : 21257692 DOI : 10.1099/ijs.0.028795-0 Abstract >>
A Gram-negative, rod-shaped and motile strain, designated CL-AS9(T), was isolated from polar seawater of the Arctic. Analysis of the 16S rRNA gene sequence of the strain showed an affiliation with the genus Spongiibacter, sharing 93.9% and 93.7% sequence similarities with the type strains of Spongiibacter tropicus CL-CB221(T) and Spongiibacter marinus HAL40b(T), respectively. Phylogenetic analyses revealed that strain CL-AS9(T) formed a separate branch that was distinct from a clade comprising Spongiibacter marinus HAL40b(T), Spongiibacter tropicus CL-CB221(T) and Melitea salexigens 5IX/A01/131(T). Cells of the strain grew optimally at 20-25 �XC and pH 6.6-8.0 in the presence of 3-4% (w/v) sea salts. The major polar lipids were diphosphatidylglycerol, phosphatidylglycerol and an unidentified aminophospholipid. The major quinone was ubiquinone 8. The major cellular fatty acids were C(16:1)�s7c and/or iso-C(15:0) 2-OH (23.1%), C(17:1)�s8c (22.1%) and C(18:1)�s7c (15.6%). The genomic DNA G+C content was 53.6 mol%. Based on the phylogenetic, chemotaxonomic and phenotypic data presented, we propose the name Spongiibacter borealis sp. nov. with the type strain CL-AS9(T) (=KCCM 90094(T) =JCM 17304(T)) and the reclassification of Melitea salexigens as a later heterotypic synonym of Spongiibacter marinus. We also provide emended descriptions of the genus Spongiibacter and Spongiibacter marinus.

( 2008 ) Melitea salexigens gen. nov., sp. nov., a gammaproteobacterium from the Mediterranean Sea. PMID : 18984680 DOI : 10.1099/ijs.0.65685-0 Abstract >>
A novel aerobic, Gram-negative bacterial strain, designated 5IX/A01/131(T), was isolated from waters in the coastal north-western Mediterranean Sea. The cells were motile, straight rods, 1.6 microm long and 0.5 microm wide, and formed cream colonies on marine 2216 agar. The G+C content of the genomic DNA was 57 mol %. Phylogenetic analysis of the 16S rRNA gene sequence placed the strain in the class Gammaproteobacteria. On the basis of the 16S rRNA gene sequence comparisons and physiological and biochemical characteristics, strain 5IX/A01/131(T) represents a novel genus and species, for which the name Melitea salexigens gen. nov., sp. nov. is proposed. The type strain of Melitea salexigens is 5IX/A01/131(T) (=DSM 19753(T) =CIP 109757(T) =MOLA 225(T)).
