Corynebacterium maris sp. nov., a marine bacterium isolated from the mucus of the coral Fungia granulosa
Abstract
A bacterial strain, designated Coryn-1(T), was isolated from mucus of the coral Fungia granulosa (northern Red Sea, Gulf of Eilat, Israel) by growth and enrichment of micro-organisms in agar spheres and subsequent plating. The bacterium was found to be a Gram-positive, non-motile, halotolerant, heterotrophic coccobacillus. Comparative 16S rRNA gene sequence analyses showed that strain Coryn-1(T) belonged to the genus Corynebacterium, exhibiting the highest levels of similarity (94 %) with the 16S rRNA gene sequence of Corynebacterium halotolerans YIM 70093(T). The novel strain grew well at 0.5-4.0 % salinity, at pH 7.2-9.0 and at 30-37 degrees C. The major cellular fatty acids were oleic acid (C(18 : 1)omega9c; 58 %), palmitic acid (C(16 : 0); 30 %) and tuberculostearic acid (10-methyl-C(18 : 0); 12 %). The DNA G+C content was 66.6 mol%. On the basis of its phenotypic properties and phylogenetic distinctiveness, strain Coryn-1(T) represents a novel species, for which the name Corynebacterium maris sp. nov. is proposed. The type strain is Coryn-1(T) (=DSM 45190(T)=LMG 24561(T)).

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
