摘要

A novel Gram-stain-negative, aerobic rod-shaped bacterial strain, which was catalase- and oxidase-positive, designated as DMV24BSW_DT, was isolated from the estuarine waters of the Bhavnagar (India) coast of the Arabian Sea. Its 16S rRNA gene exhibited 99.52% similarity with Neopusillimonas maritima 17-4AT, followed by 97.95% similarity with the Pusillimonas caeni strain EBR-8–1 and 97.4% similarity with the P. noertemannii strain BN9T. Phylogenomic analysis using BPGA (14,332 aa) and UBCG (90,261 bp) tools revealed a unique phylogenetic position within the genus Neopusillimonas. The genome exhibited a G + C content of 53.25%. In comparison with N. maritima 17-4AT, the strain demonstrated an average nucleotide identity (ANIb) of 94.47% and a digital DNA-DNA hybridization (dDDH) value of 60.1%, indicating distinct genomic divergence. The genome of DMV24BSW_DT contains several unique metabolic genes that facilitate efficient electron transfer during aerobic respiration. Additionally, it harbours one intact prophage and four defective prophages, indicating ongoing viral interactions. The genome encodes a complete pathway for ectoine biosynthesis and transportation. Strain DMV24BSW_DT tested positive for gelatin hydrolysis and demonstrated the ability to utilize a wide range of carbohydrates, including α-D-glucose, D-melibiose, D-fructose, L-rhamnose, and various organic acids, such as methyl pyruvate and propionic acid, along with tolerance to fluctuating pH (5 to 10) and salinity (0–4% NaCl). The major polar lipids included phosphatidylglycerol, diphosphatidylglycerol, and phosphatidylethanolamine, while fatty acid analysis revealed C12:0, C16:0, C17:0 cyclo, and summed feature 2 (C12:0 aldehyde/unknown) as major components. The respiratory quinones identified were MK-7 and MK-8. These comprehensive phenotypic, chemotaxonomic, and genomic characteristics support the unique taxonomic position of DMV24BSW_DT within the genus Neopusillimonas and the proposal of a novel species of the genus Neopusillimonas, for which the name Neopusillimonas aestuarii sp. nov. (Type strain DMV24BSW_DT = MCC 2506 T = KCTC 72453 T = JCM 34508 T) is proposed.
