ABSTRACT

An aerobic, polarly flagellated marine bacterium that produces a prodigiosinlike pigment was isolated from the red-spotted culture beds of Laminaria japonica. Five isolates had unique bacteriolytic activity for both Gram-positive and -negative bacteria, which had never been observed among Alteromonas or related species. The isolates were identified as the causative agent of red spot disease of L. japonica seeds. The phenotypic features of the isolates were similar to these of Pseudoalteromonas rubra ATCC 29570^T, but they could be differentiated using 10 traits (growth at 37°C, requirement for organic growth factors, bacteriolytic activity, utilization of sucrose, N-acetylglucosamine, fumarate, succinate, D-galactose, L-proline and acetate). The G+C content of DNAs from the isolates was 44–46 mol%. The isolates constitute a new species, distinct from the other Alteromonas and Pseudoalteromonas species, as shown by DNA-DNA hybridization experiments and phylogenetic clustering of 16S rRNA gene sequences, for which the name Pseudoalteromonas bacteriolytica sp. nov. (type strain = IAM 14595^T) is proposed. A set of phenotypic features which differentiate this new species from closely related Pseudoalteromonas and Alteromonas species is provided.

Key Words: Pseudoalteromonas bacteriolytica sp. nov. • bacteriolytic activity • red spot disease • Laminaria

The DDBJ/GenBank/EMBL accession number for the sequence of Pseudoalteromonas bacteriolytica (IAM 14595^T) is D89929.
