Agromyces atrinae sp. nov., isolated from fermented seafood

A Gram-staining-positive, aerobic, non-motile and rod-shaped bacterium, designated P27^T, was isolated from a traditional fermented seafood. The isolate grew optimally with 0-2.0% (w/v) NaCl and at pH 6-7 and 30 °C. The predominant menaquinones were MK-12 and MK-11. The major cellular fatty acids were anteiso-C_{17 : 0}, anteiso-C_{15 : 0} and iso-C _{16 : 0}. The major cell-wall sugars were galactose, mannose and rhamnose. The peptidoglycan amino acids of strain P27^T were 2, 4-diaminobutyric acid, alanine, glutamic acid and glycine. The major polar lipids were diphosphatidylglycerol, phosphatidylglycerol and an unidentified glycolipid. The genomic DNA G+C content of strain P27^T was 69.0 mol%. Based on its 16S rRNA gene sequence, strain P27^T showed highest pairwise similarity with Agromyces cerinus subsp. cerinus JCM 9083^T (97.0% similarity). Based on phenotypic, genotypic and phylogenetic studies, strain P27^T represents a novel species in the genus Agromyces, for which the name Agromyces atrinae sp. nov. is proposed. The type strain is P27^T (=KCTC 19593^T =JCM 15913^T).
