Abstract
  • Marine bacteria from the SAR11 clade (class Alphaproteobacteria), specifically strains HTCC1062 and HTCC7211, were characterized according to a polyphasic taxonomic approach. Maximum cell densities and growth rates at various temperatures, salinities, and pH’s were analyzed. Strains HTCC1062 and HTCC7211 were observed as having different growth optimums. On the basis of experimental data obtained in this study, two separate novel species are proposed, Pelagibacter ubiquis gen. nov., sp. nov. (HTCC1062), & Pelagibacter bermudensis sp. nov. (HTCC7211).
