Register list for 3 new species of the Microbulbifer genus, phylum Pseudomonadota

Submitted by Tang, Yifan

Abstract

Three new species of marine Microbulbifer bacteria, M. maximicatervae sp. nov., M. regidiadema sp. nov., M. mixtoriginis sp. nov.

Species Microbulbifer maximicatervae

Etymology
[ma.xi.mi.ca.ter'vae] L. masc. adj. maximus, greatest, largest; L. fem. n. caterva, a crowd, a cluster; N.L. gen. n. maximicatervae, of the largest group
Nomenclatural type
Genome sc|0005414 Ts
Reference Strain
Strain sc|0040521: PAAF003
Description
Strains of Microbulbifer maximicatervae were the most frequently isolated from the sponges and corals in which Microbulbifer regidiadema and Microbulbifer mixtoriginis were also derived from.
Classification
Bacteria » Pseudomonadota » Gammaproteobacteria » Cellvibrionales » Microbulbiferaceae » Microbulbifer » Microbulbifer maximicatervae
