Isolation and BOX-PCR identification of two new species of marine bacteria
Two marine bacteria, DQHS13 and YCSA40, were isolated from sediment of sea cucumber farm and saltwoks in Jimo. Phylogenetic analysis based on 16S rDNA gene sequences showed that strain DQHS13 and YCSA40 were probably new species of the genus Marinobacter, and it also showed that the previously known member of the genus Marinobacter zhejiangensis and M. Segnicrescens sp. Nov. Were the nearest neighbors to strain DQHS13 and YCSA40. The levels of sequence similarity between them are 98. 789% and 96.963%. BOX-PCR fingerprint showed the differences between the two strains and their type strains.
