PALLERONIA ABYSSALIS
| Class: | Alpha Proteobacteria |
| Genus: | Palleronia |
| Species: | Palleronia abyssalis |
| Description: | Palleronia abyssalis, isolated from the deep Mediterranean Sea.Three strains designated 221-F1T, 221-F2 and 3030-F1 were isolated from the Matapan Vavilov Deep canyon, also known as Calypso Deep in the Eastern Mediterranean Sea, at a depth of 4,908 m. Based on 16S rRNA gene sequence analysis these strains were found to be most closely related to Palleronia marisminoris and Hwanghaeicola aestuarii, with 16S rRNA gene pairwise sequence similarity of 95.3 and 94.7 % respectively, belonging to the family Rhodobacteraceae. The strains were observed to be red-pigmented and to form non-motile cocci or pleomorphic cells. The cells were found to stain Gram-negative, to be strictly aerobic, oxidase and catalase positive. |
