Vibrio phycocola sp. nov. and Vibrio phycohabitans sp. nov., Isolated from the Phycosphere of Marine Algae.

Two Gram-stain-negative, facultatively aerobic, oxidase- and catalase-positive, motile (by means of a polar flagellum) rod-shaped bacterial strains, designated BS-M-Sm-2T and MA40-2T, were isolated from marine algae. Growth was optimal at pH 7.0-8.0 and 2.0-3.0% (w/v) NaCl, with temperature optima of 25°C for BS-M-Sm-2T and 25-30°C for MA40-2T. Ubiquinone-8 was the sole respiratory quinone. The major fatty acids common to both strains were C16:0, summed feature 3 (C16:1 ω7c and/or C16:1 ω6c), and summed feature 8 (C18:1 ω7c and/or C18:1 ω6c), while BS-M-Sm-2T additionally contained C12:0 and C14:0. The predominant polar lipids were phosphatidylethanolamine and phosphatidylglycerol, with diphosphatidylglycerol also detected in strain MA40-2T. The DNA G+C contents of strains BS-M-Sm-2T and MA40-2T were 44.2 and 39.8 mol%, respectively. The 16S rRNA gene sequence similarity, average nucleotide identity (ANI), and digital DNA-DNA hybridization (dDDH) values between the two strains were 93.8%, 71.4%, and 23.2%, respectively. Phylogenetic and phylogenomic analyses placed both strains within the genus Vibrio, forming distinct lineages. Comparisons with closely related Vibrio type strains yielded ANI and dDDH values below 91.6% and 44.3%, respectively, further supporting their classification as novel species. Genome analyses revealed genes potentially involved in algal symbiosis, including those for polysaccharide degradation and vitamin biosynthesis. Based on comprehensive genomic, phylogenetic, phenotypic, and chemotaxonomic evidence, strains BS-M-Sm-2T and MA40-2T represent two novel species, for which the names Vibrio phycocola sp. nov. (BS-M-Sm-2T =KACC 24066T =DSM 119941T) and Vibrio phycohabitans sp. nov. (MA40-2T =KACC 24064T = DSM 119942T) are proposed.

Vibrio limimangrovi sp. nov., Vibrio phycocola sp. nov. and Vibrio sediminis sp. nov., isolated from coastal habitats.

Four marine bacterial strains of the genus Vibrio, designated WJH972T, RC27, FJH11T, and HA2012T, were isolated from coastal habitats in China. Phenotypic and physiological characterization showed that all four strains are Gram-stain-negative, facultatively anaerobic, short rod-shaped cells, and motile. The 16S rRNA gene sequence similarities between the isolates and their closest relatives were 96.5% - 98.2%, above the genus-level threshold but below the species delineation cutoff. Genomic analysis revealed that strains WJH972T and RC27 shared an average nucleotide identity (ANI) of 98.7% and a digital DNA-DNA hybridization (dDDH) value of 89.9%, confirming their conspecificity. In contrast, the ANI and dDDH values between the four strains and known Vibrio species ranged from 78.6% to 85.8% and from 13.7% to 59.3%, respectively, both falling below the thresholds for species delineation. The biosynthetic gene clusters support bacterial potentials for stress tolerance and antibiotic synthesis, consistent with strain FJH11T's resistance to all 20 antibiotics and other strains' sensitivity to chloramphenicol and penicillin. Based on these polyphasic taxonomic evidence above, three novel species are thus proposed: Vibrio limimangrovi sp. nov. (type strain FJH11T), Vibrio phycocola sp. nov. (type strain WJH972T), and Vibrio sediminis sp. nov. (type strain HA2012T). This study provides novel insights into the systematics, metabolic diversity, antibiotic resistance, and ecological distribution of the genus Vibrio.
