Abstract

A Gramnegative bacterium designated CAU 1040T which was isolated from marine sand obtained from Jeju Island in South Korea was characterized as an aerobic rodshaped organism that that was nonmotile nonsporeforming and halophilic The bacterium grew optimally at 37 °C at pH 8 and in the presence of 2  w/v NaCl The taxonomic classification of CAU 1040T was investigated using a polyphasic characterization approach While phylogenetic analysis of the 16S rRNA gene sequence revealed that CAU 1040T belongs to the genus Kangiella the strain exhibited only 944–954  sequence similarity to the previously described Kangiella species Similar to other Kangiella species Q8 was the predominant ubiquionone and isoC150 was the major cellular fatty acid detected in strain CAU 1040T The predominant polar lipids identified were diphosphatidylglycerol phosphatidylglycerol and phosphatidylethanolamine The G+C content of the CAU 1040T genome was 453 mol The phylogenetic physiological biochemical and chemotaxonomic data obtained in this study indicate that strain CAU 1040T represents a novel species of the genus Kangiella for which the name Kangiella chungangensis sp nov is hereby proposed The type strain is CAU 1040T KCTC 42299T NBRC 110728T
