| Description |
SummaryA novel coccoid-shaped strain, AS/ASP6 (II)(T) was isolated from a sample taken from Plakortis simplex (Schulze), a marine sponge, collected at a depth of 30 m from the Bay of Bengal. This strain was identified by using a polyphasic taxonomic approach. The results of 16S rRNA gene sequence analysis, showed that strain AS/ASP6 (II)(T) should be assigned to the genus Planococcus. Chemotaxonomical data (A4 -type peptidoglycan; MK-6, MK-7 and MK-8 menaquinones; mainly branched cellular fatty acids, and PE, PG and DPG as cellular phospholipids) supported this taxonomic placement to the genus Planococcus. Phylogenetic analysis of the 16S rRNA gene sequence showed that the strain AS/ASP6 (II)(T) belongs to the genus Planococcus and was closely related to P. maritimus (99.1%) followed by P. rifetoensis (98.6 %), P. maitriensis (98.5 %), P. citreus (98.3 %), P. salinarum (98.1 %), P. columbae (97.9 %), P. donghaensis (97.8 %) and P. antarcticus (97.7 %) and the DNA-DNA hybridization value obtained is well below the threshold that is required for the proposal of a novel species. The G+C content of the genomic DNA was 51.0%. The phenotypic and genotypic data showed that strain AS/ASP6 (II)(T) merits the recognition as a representative of a novel species of the genus Planococcus, for which the name Planococcus plakortidis sp. nov. is proposed. The type strain is AS/ASP6 (II)(T) (=MTCC 8491(T) =DSM 23997(T)).
