Piscicoccus halotolerans gen. nov., sp. nov., isolated from fish sauce in Thailand.
Summary of "Piscicoccus halotolerans gen. nov., sp. nov., isolated from fish sauce in Thailand."
Two strains of Gram-positive, catalase negative, tetrad-forming cocci, C01T and C02 isolated from fish sauce were studied systematically. They were facultative anaerobic and produced L-lactic acid from glucose. Straight-chain fatty acids of C18:1omega9c was dominant composition. The DNA G+C contents were 38.6 and 38.7 mol%. On the basis of 16S rRNA gene sequences analysis, the strain C01T was closely related to Desemzia incerta DSM 20581T with 96.9% similarities. The strains could be clearly distinguished from D. incerta DSM 20581T by cell form, physiological and biochemical characteristics, the DNA G+C content, and a low DNA-DNA relatedness (
