ABSTRACT
Strain AA17T was isolated from an apparently healthy fragment of Montipora capitata coral from the reef surrounding Moku o Lo'e in Kane'ohe Bay, O'ahu, Hawai'i, USA, and was taxonomically evaluated using a polyphasic approach. Comparison of a partial 16S rRNA gene sequence found that strain AA17T shared the greatest similarity with Aestuariibacter halophilus JC2043T (96.6%), and phylogenies based on 16S rRNA gene sequences grouped strain AA17T with members of the Aliiglaciecola, Aestuariibacter, Lacimicrobium, Marisediminitalea, Planctobacterium, and Saliniradius genera. To more precisely infer the taxonomy of strain AA17T, a phylogenomic analysis was conducted and indicated that strain AA17T formed a monophyletic clade with A. halophilus JC2043T, divergent from Aestuariibacter salexigens JC2042T and other related genera. As a result of monophyly and multiple genomic metrics of genus demarcation, strain AA17T and A. halophilus JC2043T comprise a distinct genus for which the name Fluctibacter gen. nov. is proposed. Based on a polyphasic characterisation and identifying differences in genomic and taxonomic data, strain AA17T represents a novel species, for which the name Fluctibacter corallii sp. nov. is proposed. The type strain is AA17T (= LMG 32603 T = NCTC 14664T). This work also supports the reclassification of A. halophilus as Fluctibacter halophilus comb. nov., which is the type species of the Fluctibacter genus. Genomic analyses also support the reclassification of Paraglaciecola oceanifecundans as a later heterotypic synonym of Paraglaciecola agarilytica.
