THALASSOBACTER ARENAE
| Class: | Alpha Proteobacteria |
| Genus: | Thalassobacter |
| Species: | Thalassobacter arenae |
| Description: | Thalassobacter arenae,a Gram-negative, short rod-shaped bacterium, strain GA2-M15T, was isolated from a sea-sand sample at Homi Cape, Pohang city, Republic of Korea. 16S rRNA gene sequence analysis demonstrated that this isolate was unique, showing 95.9 % sequence similarity to the type strain of Thalassobacter stenotrophicus and similarities of 94.0–95.2 % to the type strains of species of the genera Octadecabacter (94.4–95.2 %), Jannaschia (94.0–94.4 %) and Thalassobius (94.0–94.7 %). Chemotaxonomic characteristics (diphosphatidylglycerol, phosphatidylglycerol, phosphatidylethanolamine and phosphatidylcholine as the major polar lipids and C18 : 1 ω7c as the predominant fatty acid) and DNA G+C content (56 mol%) were also similar to those of Thalassobacter stenotrophicus. |
