Abstract

Six strains were isolated from the hemolymph of the spider crab Maja brachydactyla captured in Spain and one from a diseased blue mussel Mytilus edulis The 16S rRNA gene sequences showed close similarity to the recently described Photobacterium swingsii 981  and to a lesser degree to Photobacterium aquimaris 978  MLSA analyses showed a monophyletic group including P swingsii that form a new subclade All genomic analyses Average Nucleotide Identity Average Amino Acid Identity and in silico DNA–DNA clearly separate the strains analysed from P swingsii with values below the thresholds to delimit a new species The phenotypic genotypic and genomic data presented here clearly place these strains as a coherent group within the genus Photobacterium for which we propose the name Photobacterium sanguinicancri sp nov Strain CAIM 1827T =CECT 7579T =DSM 24670T is proposed as the type strain of the species
