Description
Summary:The marine phycosphere harbors unique cross-kingdom associations with ecological relevance. During investigating the diversity of phycosphere microbiota of marine harmful algal blooms dinoflagellates, a faint yellow-pigmented bacterium, designated as strain LZ-8, was isolated from paralytic shellfish poisoning toxin-producing dinoflagellate Alexandrium catenella LZT09. The new isolate appeared to have growth-promoting potential toward its algal host. Molecular analysis using 16S rRNA gene, housekeeping rpo D gene and whole-genome sequence comparison indicated that strain LZ-8 T was a novel gammaproteobacterium of the family Alteromonadaceae. The major fatty acids of strain LZ-8 T were C 16:0 , C 18:1 ω 9c, C 12:0 3-OH, summed feature 3, C 16:1 ω 9c, C 12:0 and summed feature 9. The major isoprenoid quinone was Q-9. Polar lipids were diphosphatidylglycerol, phosphatidylethanolamine, phosphatidylglycerol, unidentified phospholipid, two unidentified aminolipids and six unidentified polar lipids. The genomic DNA G+C content was 57.36 mol%. Based on genome sequencing, several biosynthetic gene clusters responsible for bacterial biosynthesis of carotenoids and siderophores that may involve in algae–bacterial interactions were identified in the genome of strain LZ-8 T . The polyphasic characterization indicated that strain LZ-8 T represents a novel Marinobacter species. The name Marinobacter alexandrii sp. nov., type strain LZ-8 T (= CCTCC AB 2018386 T  = KCTC 72198 T ) is proposed.
