DESCRIPTION OF ALTEROMONAS ABROLHOSENSIS SP. NOV., ISOLATED FROM SEA WATER OF ABROLHOS BANK, BRAZIL

Abstract
Two Gram-negative, motile, aerobic bacteria isolated from waters of the Abrolhos Bank were classified through a whole genome-based taxonomy. Strains PEL67Eᵀ and PEL68C shared 99% 16S rRNA and dnaK sequence identity with Alteromonas marina SW-47ᵀ and Alteromonas macleodii ATCC 27126ᵀ. In silico DNA–DNA Hybridization, i.e. genome-to-genome distance (GGD), average amino acid identity (AAI) and average nucleotide identity (ANI) showed that PEL67Eᵀ and PEL68C had identity values between 33–36, 86–88 and 83–84%, and 85–86 and 83%, respectively, towards their close neighbors A. macleodii ATCC 27126ᵀ and A. marina SW-47ᵀ. The DNA G + C contents of PEL67Eᵀ and PEL68C were 44.5%. The phenotypic features that differentiate PEL67Eᵀ and PEL68C strains from their close neighbors were assimilation of galactose and activity of phosphatase, and lack of mannitol, maltose, acetate, xylose and glycerol assimilation and lack of lipase, α and β-glucosidase activity. The new species Alteromonas abrolhosensis is proposed. The type strain is PEL67Eᵀ (= CBAS 610ᵀ = CAIM 1925ᵀ).
