A novel aerobic, Gram-negative bacterium, designated strain CM41_15aT, was isolated from the surface of coastal waters of the north-western Mediterranean Sea. Cells were non-motile straight rods that formed red colonies on marine agar medium. The G+C content of the genomic DNA was 65 mol %. Phylogenetic analysis of the 16S rRNA gene sequence placed the strain in the genus Haliea within the class Gammaproteobacteria. On the basis of the 16S rRNA gene sequence comparison and physiological and biochemical characteristics, strain CM41_15aT represents a novel species, for which the name Haliea rubra sp. nov. is proposed. The type strain is CM41_15aT (=DSM 19751T=CIP 109758T=MOLA 104T).
Graphs showing the effects of temperature, pH and salinity on the growth of strain CM41_15aT are available as supplementary material with the online version of this paper.
