Magnimaribacter mokuoloeensis gen. nov. sp. nov.

Submitted by Freel, Kelle

Order Magnimaribacterales

Etymology: [Mag.ni.ma.ri.bac.ter.a'les] N.L. masc. n. Magnimaribacter, referring to the type genus Magnimaribacter; -ales, ending to denote an order; N.L. fem. pl. n. Magnimaribacterales, the Magnimaribacter order
Nomenclatural type: Genus Magnimaribacter
Description: This order was named following the isolation of a SAR86 bacterium from surface seawater of the tropical Pacific Ocean collected from Kāneʻohe Bay, Oʻahu, Hawaiʻi. It is the first isolated member of the SAR86 clade of gammaproteobacteria, which we have named the Magnimaribacterales. The Magnimaribacterales are frequently one of the most abundant groups of marine bacteria found across the global ocean.
Classification: Bacteria » Pseudomonadota » Gammaproteobacteria » Magnimaribacterales

Nomenclatural type: Genus Magnimaribacter
Description: This family was established following the isolation of a SAR86 bacterium from surface seawater of the tropical Pacific Ocean collected from Kāneʻohe Bay, Oʻahu, Hawaiʻi.

Genus Magnimaribacter

Etymology: [Mag.ni.ma.ri.bac'ter] L. masc. adj. magnus, great in importance or number; L. fem. n. mare, sea; N.L. masc. n. bacter, a rod; N.L. masc. n. Magnimaribacter, an abundant microbe in the global oceans
Nomenclatural type: Species Magnimaribacter mokuoloeensis^Ts
Description: This type isolate of this genus was isolated from surface seawater of the tropical Pacific Ocean collected from Kāneʻohe Bay, Oʻahu, Hawaiʻi. It is the first isolated member of the SAR86 clade of gammaproteobacteria, the order of which we have named the Magnimaribacterales. The Magnimaribacterales are frequently one of the most abundant groups of marine bacteria found across the global ocean. This isolate opens an unprecedented window toward understanding the genomic and metabolic traits that contribute to the success of this lineage.
