A rod-shaped bacterium, designated CL-TF13T, was isolated from a tidal flat in Ganghwa, Korea. Analysis of the 16S rRNA gene sequence revealed an affiliation with the genus Tenacibaculum. The sequence similarities between CL-TF13T and type strains of members of the genus Tenacibaculum were from 94·2 to 97·4 %. Cells were motile by means of gliding. Strain CL-TF13T grew on solid medium as pale-yellow colonies with an irregular spreading edge. The strain was able to grow in NaCl at a range of 3–5 %. They grew within a temperature range of 5–40 °C and at pH range of 6–10. The major fatty acids were summed feature 3 (C16 : 1{omega}7c and/or iso-C15 : 0 2-OH, 19·6 %), iso-C15 : 0 (18·8 %) and iso-C17 : 0 3-OH (13·6 %). Fatty acids such as C18 : 3{omega}6c (6,9,12) (1·5 %) and summed feature 4 (iso I- and/or anteiso B-C17 : 1, 1·3 %) were uniquely found in minor quantities in CL-TF13T among Tenacibaculum species. The DNA G+C content was 30 mol%. According to physiological data, fatty-acid composition and 16S rRNA gene sequence, CL-TF13T could be assigned to the genus Tenacibaculum but distinguished from the recognized species of the genus. Therefore, strain CL-TF13T (=KCCM 42115T=JCM 13039T) represents a novel species, for which the name Tenacibaculum litoreum sp. nov. is proposed.

Since the genus Tenacibaculum was proposed by Suzuki et al. (2001)Go, six species have been isolated from various marine sources. Two species, Tenacibaculum maritimum and Tenacibaculum ovolyticum, were reclassified from the former [Flexibacter] maritimus isolated from diseased red sea bream fingerling (Wakabayasahi et al., 1986Go) and [Flexibacter] ovolyticus isolated from halibut egg (Hansen et al., 1992Go). Two other species, Tenacibaculum mesophilum and Tenacibaculum amylolyticum, were isolated from homogenates of sponge and surfaces of marine macroalgae, respectively (Suzuki et al., 2001Go). Tenacibaculum skagerrakense and Tenacibaculum lutimaris were recently isolated from sea water (Frette et al., 2004Go) and tidal flat sediment (Yoon et al., 2005Go), respectively.

In this study, strain CL-TF13T, related to the genus Tenacibaculum, was isolated from tidal flat sediment in Ganghwa, Korea. The sediment slurry was spread onto a plate containing marine agar 2216 (MA; Difco) and the plate was incubated at 30 °C for 1 week. Strain CL-TF13T was isolated on the plate and subsequently purified four times on MA at 30 °C. The strain was maintained both on MA at 4 °C and in marine broth 2216 (MB; Difco) supplemented with 30 % (v/v) glycerol at –80 °C.

The 16S rRNA gene was amplified from a single colony by PCR with Taq DNA polymerase (Bioneer) and primers 27F and 1492R (Lane, 1991Go). The PCR product was purified using the AccuPrep PCR Purification kit (Bioneer) and cloned using the pCR2.1 TOPO TA Cloning kit (Invitrogen). Sequencing of the 16S rRNA gene was performed with an Applied Biosystems automatic sequencer (ABI 3730XL) at Macrogen (Seoul, Korea). The almost-complete 16S rRNA gene sequence of strain CL-TF13T (1446 bp) was obtained and compared with 16S rRNA gene sequences available in GenBank using BLASTN (Altschul et al., 1990Go) searches. The sequence of strain CL-TF13T was manually aligned with those of the type strains of six Tenacibaculum species and with the type species of other genera in the family Flavobacteriaceae obtained from GenBank and Ribosomal Database Project (Cole et al., 2003Go) databases using known 16S rRNA secondary structure information. Phylogenetic trees were obtained by neighbour-joining (Saitou & Nei, 1987Go), maximum-parsimony (Fitch, 1971Go) and maximum-likelihood (Felsenstein, 1981Go) methods. An evolutionary distance matrix for the neighbour-joining method was generated according to the model of Jukes & Cantor (1969)Go. The robustness of tree topologies was assessed by bootstrap analyses based on 1000 replications for neighbour-joining and maximum-parsimony methods and 100 replications for the maximum-likelihood method. Alignment analysis was carried out using the jPHYDIT program (version 1.0; http://chunlab.snu.ac.kr/jphydit/) and phylogenetic analysis was carried out using MEGA3 (Kumar et al., 2004Go) and PAUP* 4.0 (Swofford, 1998Go). Likelihood parameters were estimated by the hierarchical ratio tests in MODELTEST, version 3.04 (Posada & Crandall, 1998Go). Sequence similarity indicated that the closest relatives of strain CL-TF13T were T. lutimaris (97·4 %), T. mesophilum (97·1 %), T. skagerrakense (96·5 %), T. amylolyticum (96·0 %), T. ovolyticum (95·4 %) and T. maritimum (94·2 %). Phylogenetic analyses based on the 16S rRNA gene sequence showed that strain CL-TF13T formed a robust cluster with species of the genus Tenacibaculum (Fig. 1Go). Thus, it is clear that our isolate belongs to the genus Tenacibaculum. The DNA G+C content was determined using the thermal denaturation method (Mandel & Marmur, 1968Go) and was found to be 30 mol%, at the lower limit of the range reported in other Tenacibaculum species (Table 1Go). As the similarities between strain CL-TF13T and two species (T. lutimaris and T. mesophilum) were close to the theoretical threshold (97 %) for the delineation of bacterial species based on 16S rRNA gene sequence similarity (Stackebrandt & Goebel, 1994Go), the relatedness of genomic DNA was determined by dot-blot hybridization. Probe DNA labelling was performed using a nick translation kit (Roche) and hybridization and detection were done using the DIG labelling and detection kit (Roche) according to the manufacturer's instruction. The DNA–DNA relatedness between CL-TF13T and T. lutimaris was 11 %, while that for T. mesophilum was 46 %. These values are below the currently accepted limit of DNA relatedness (70 %) for the phylogenetic definition of a species (Stackebrandt & Goebel, 1994Go) and therefore provide evidence that the isolate represents a novel species in the genus Tenacibaculum.

Table 1. Differential phenotypic characteristics of strain CL-TF13T and other Tenacibaculum species

Strains: 1, T. litoreum sp. nov. CL-TF13T; 2, T. lutimaris TF-26T; 3, T. skagerrakense D30T; 4, T. amylolyticum MBIC 4355T; 5, T. mesophilum MBIC 1140T; 6, T. ovolyticum IAM 14318T; 7, T. maritimum NCIMB 2154T. Data from Yoon et al. (2005)Go, Frette et al. (2004)Go, Suzuki et al. (2001)Go or this study. +, Positive; –, negative; W, weakly positive; opt., optimal; NA, not available; NG, no growth with NaCl only. All species are Gram-negative, rod-shaped and positive for catalase and oxidase. Data for API ZYM were obtained in this study.

 
Morphological and physiological analyses were performed. Gram staining was performed as described by Smibert & Krieg (1994)Go. Cell morphology was examined by phase-contrast microscopy and transmission electron microscopy (JEOL EX2) with cells grown at 30 °C in MB. Gliding motility was observed by the hanging-drop method (Suzuki et al., 2001Go). Anaerobic growth was checked on MA using the GasPak anaerobic system (BBL). Catalase and oxidase activities were determined according to the protocols described by Smibert & Krieg (1994)Go, and gelatinase, amylase, DNase and nitrate reductase activities and degradation of Tween 80 were examined as described by Hansen & Sørheim (1991)Go. Cells are rod-shaped (Fig. 2Go) and motile by means of gliding. Spherical cells were rarely observed in ageing cultures of CL-TF13T (Fig. 2bGo). Colony size, shape and colour were determined on MA after 5 days incubation at 30 °C. Colonies were pale yellow in colour, greenish glistening and irregular with spreading edges on MA. Colonies were 5–10 mm in diameter and not adherent to the agar. Other morphological characteristics are shown in Table 1Go.

The temperature range for growth was determined on the basis of colony formation on MA plates that were incubated at 5–45 °C. The pH range (5–11) for growth was determined by changes in OD600 with time in MB. The final pH was adjusted using NaOH and HCl solutions. Tolerance of CL-TF13T to NaCl and sea salts (Sigma) was determined using the synthetic ZoBell broth (5 g Bacto peptone, 1 g yeast extract, 0·1 g ferric citrate, 1 l distilled water) with various concentrations [0, 1, 3, 5, 7, 10, 15, 20, 25 % (w/v)] of NaCl or sea salts. Nitrate reduction, production of indole, arginine dihydrolase, urease, gelatinase and beta-galactosidase, acid production from glucose and hydrolysis of aesculin were tested using API 20NE kit (bioMérieux) according to the manufacturer's instruction, except that the cell suspension was prepared using artificial sea water (ASW; 24 g NaCl, 5·1 g MgCl2, 4 g Na2SO4, 1·1 g CaCl2, 0·7 g KCl, 0·2 g NaHCO3, 0·1 g KBr, 0·027 g H3BO3, 0·024 g SrCl2, 0·003 g NaF, 1 l distilled water; Lyman & Fleming, 1940Go) as a suspension medium. Other enzyme activities were also assayed by using the API ZYM kit (bioMérieux) and ASW as a suspension medium. Carbon utilization was tested on basal medium agar (0·2 g NH4Cl, 0·2 g NaNO3, 0·05 g yeast extract, 15 g Bacto agar, 1 l ASW) containing 0·4 % of the carbon source. Incubation was prolonged for 1 month and growth was scored as negative when growth was equal to or less than that in the negative control, without any carbon source. For the analyses of API 20NE, API ZYM and carbon utilization tests, T. lutimaris TF-26T and T. maritimum NCIMB 2514T were employed as reference strains. In contrast to the other Tenacibaculum species, CL-TF13T grew optimally at 35–40 °C and was able to grow at pH 10, with 3–5 % (w/v) NaCl and with 1–10 % (w/v) sea salts (Table 1Go). The strain showed positive responses in tests for nitrate reductase, gelatinase, DNase, amylase, catalase, cytochrome oxidase and degradation of Tween 80 (Table 1Go). The other results of biochemical and physiological tests are given in Table 1Go and the species description.

Isoprenoid quinone was isolated according to Minnikin et al. (1984)Go and analysed by HPLC as described by Collins (1985)Go. The major isoprenoid quinone in CL-TF13T was menaquinone-6 (MK-6). Pigments were extracted from cells cultured in the dark for 1 day by using methanol and analysed by HPLC system. Flexirubin pigments were detected by a colour-shift test using 20 % (w/v) KOH solution (Reichenbach, 1992Go). CL-TF13T contained zeaxanthin as the major carotenoid pigment but did not contain flexirubin pigments. Thus, the characteristics of isoprenoid quinone and pigments were the same as other Tenacibaculum species. The fatty acid methyl esters in whole cells, which were grown on MA at 30 °C for 1 day, were analysed by gas chromatography according to the instructions of the Microbial Identification system (MIDI) at the Korean Culture Center of Microorganisms (Seoul, Korea). Similar to other members of the genus, the fatty-acid profile of CL-TF13T was dominated by summed feature 3 (C16 : 1{omega}7c and/or iso-C15 : 0 2-OH, 19·6 %), iso-C15 : 0 (18·8 %), iso-C17 : 0 3-OH (13·6 %), iso-C15 : 1 (8·2 %), iso-C16 : 0 3-OH (6·8 %) and iso-C15 : 0 3-OH (6·6 %) (Table 2Go). However, the relative proportions of the dominant fatty acids in CL-TF13T were different from other Tenacibaculum species and three fatty acids, C18 : 3{omega}6c (6,9,12) (1·5 %), summed feature 4 (iso I- and/or anteiso B-C17 : 1, 1·3 %) and an unknown fatty acid (ECL 13.565) (1·3 %), were uniquely found in minor quantities in CL-TF13T among Tenacibaculum species. Therefore, the fatty-acid pattern of strain CL-TF13T differed significantly from those of previously described Tenacibaculum species.

Table 2. Cellular fatty-acid content of strain CL-TF13T and other Tenacibaculum species

Values are percentages of total fatty acids. Strains: 1, T. litoreum sp. nov. CL-TF13T; 2, T. lutimaris TF-26T; 3, T. skagerrakense D30T; 4, T. mesophilum MBIC 1140T; 5, T. maritimum NCIMB 2154T. No fatty acid data are available for T. ovolyticum or T. amylolyticum. Data from Yoon et al. (2005)Go and this study. Fatty acids that represented <0·5 % in all strains were omitted. ND, Not detected; –, ND or <0·5%. ECL, Equivalent chain-length. Fatty-acid analyses were performed using cells cultivated on the same medium and at the same temperature, but incubation time was different between CL-TF13T (1 day) and the other strains (2 days).

 
In conclusion, physiological features, fatty-acid profiles, phylogenetic analyses based on 16S rRNA gene sequences and DNA–DNA relatedness suggest that strain CL-TF13T represents a novel species of the genus Tenacibaculum, for which the name Tenacibaculum litoreum sp. nov. is proposed.
