Abstract
Two strains of Gram-stain-positive, catalase-negative, tetrad-forming cocci, C01 T and C02, were isolated in Thailand from fish sauce. They were facultatively anaerobic, non-motile and non-sporeforming bacteria. These strains produced L-lactic acid from glucose. They grew at pH 5.0-9.0, at 15-40 deg;C and in the presence of 10% (w/v) NaCl. The dominant fatty acid was C18: 1ω9c. The DNA G+C contents of strains C01 T and C02 were 38.6 and 38.7 mol%, respectively. Strain C01T was related most closely to Desemzia incerta DSM 20581 T, with a 16S rRNA gene sequence similarity of 96.9 %. The strains could be distinguished clearly from D. incerta DSM 20581 T based on cell morphology, physiological and biochemical characteristics and low levels of DNA-DNA relatedness. On the basis of the data presented, strains C01 T and C02 are considered to represent a novel species of a new genus in the Bacillus-Lactobacillus cluster, for which the name Pisciglobus halotolerans gen. nov., sp. nov. is proposed. The type strain of Pisciglobus halotolerans is C01T (=KCTC 13150 T =TISTR 1958 T =PCU 316T). © 2011 IUMS.
