Halomonas marinisediminis sp. nov., A Moderately Halophilic Bacterium Isolated from the Bohai Gulf Huilin Zhao1 · Chaonan Wang2 · Yue Tian1 · Yanli Zhang1 · Yulong Wu1 · Yan Zhang3 · Zongjun Du2,4 · Boqing Li1 · Xiaofei Ji1 Received: 15 June 2019 / Accepted: 25 July 2020 © Springer Science+Business Media, LLC, part of Springer Nature 2020

Abstract A novel Gram-stain-negative, moderately halophilic bacterium, designated strain ­204T, was isolated from a marine sediment sample in the Bohai Gulf, Yellow Sea, China. Cells of strain ­204T are aerobic, motile, cocci or short rods with two lateral flagella. Growth was observed at 15–40 °C (optimum, 30 °C), pH 6.0–9.0 (optimum, 7.0–7.5) and in the presence of 1.0–18.0% (w/v) NaCl (optimum, 3.0–8.0%). Phylogenetic analysis based on 16S rRNA gene sequences indicated that strain ­204T belonged to the genus Halomonas, showing highest sequence similarity to Halomonas alimentaria YKJ-16T (98.08%), followed by Halomonas sediminicola (97.47%), Halomonas fontilapidosi (97.14%), Halomonas halodenitrificans (96.98%), Halomonas ventosae (96.92%), and Halomonas shengliensis (96.85%). The draft genome is 3.8 Mb in length, containing 3673 protein-coding genes, 62 tRNA genes and 10 rRNA genes, and DNA G+C content is 62.7 mol%. Strain ­204T contains phosphatidylglycerol, phosphatidylethanolamine, and diphosphatidylglycerol as the main polar lipids, and the predominant respiratory quinone was ubiquinone Q-9. The major cellular fatty acids (> 5%) are C ­ 18:1ω7c, ­C16:1ω7c and/ or ­C16:1ω6c, ­C16:0 and C ­ 12:03-OH. Strain 2­ 04T was clearly distinguished from the closely related type strains through phylogenetic analysis, dDNA-DNA hybridization, fatty acid composition data and a range of physiological and biochemical characteristics comparisons. On the basis of the polyphasic analysis, strain 2­ 04T is considered to represent a novel species of the genus Halomonas, for which the name Halomonas marinisediminis sp. nov. is proposed. The type strain is ­204T (=  MCCC ­1H00366T = KCTC ­62957T).

Introduction The GenBank accession numbers of Halomonas marinisediminis ­204T are MK347065 (16S rRNA gene) and SLTR00000000 (draft genome), respectively. The Digital Protologue database (DPD) number for strain ­204T is TA00990 Electronic supplementary material  The online version of this article (https​://doi.org/10.1007/s0028​4-020-02147​-4) contains supplementary material, which is available to authorized users. * Boqing Li [email protected] * Xiaofei Ji [email protected] 1

The genus Halomonas, first proposed by Vreeland et al. [1], belongs to the family Halomonadaceae [2]. Apart from Halomonas, the family comprises of fourteen different genera (https​://www.
