Abstract: | Ten luminous marine bacteria having the diagnostic traits ofPhotobacterium fischeri but differing from this species in their ability to grow at 4°C have been subjected to a more extensive phenotypic characterization.
The results indicated a high phenotypic similarity toP. fischeri; the major additional diagnostic trait was their inability to grow at 30°C. In these properties the isolates resembled a
previously characterized nonluminous strain, ATCC 15382, which had a DNA homology of about 40% toP. fischeri. Immunological comparisons of the glutamine synthetases and Fe-superoxide dismutases of these strains as well as additional
properties that are discussed indicated that the ten luminous isolates and strain ATCC 15382 constituted a new species, which
we have designatedPhotobacterium logei sp. nov. (type strain 584, ATCC 29985). |
