PARACOCCUS STYLOPHORAE

Class: Alpha Proteobacteria
Genus: Paracoccus
Species: Paracoccus stylophorae
Description: Paracoccus stylophorae,isolated from the reef-building coral Stylophora pistillata.A bacterial strain, designated KTW-16T, was isolated from the reef-building coral Stylophora pistillata, collected from southern Taiwan. Strain KTW-16T was a Gram-negative, facultatively anaerobic, pale-yellow, non-motile short rod. Phylogenetic analysis based on 16S rRNA gene sequences showed that strain KTW-16T belonged to the genus Paracoccus in the Alphaproteobacteria and exhibited 93.7–96.9 % 16S rRNA gene sequence similarity with type strains of species of the genus Paracoccus (96.9 % with Paracoccus alcaliphilus JCM 7364T)
