Description of Zobellia amurskyensis sp. nov. Zobellia amurskyensis (a.mur.sky.en9sis. N.L. fem. adj. amurskyensis of Amursky Bay, in which the type strain was isolated). Cells range from 0��4 to 0��5 ��m in width and from 1��2 to 1��4 ��m in length. On marine agar, colonies are 2���4 mm in diameter, circular, shiny with entire edges, pigmented dark orange and sunken in the agar. Growth occurs at 4���32 ��C, with the optimum at 23���25 ��C, and at 1���6 % NaCl, with the optimum at 2 % NaCl. Decomposes agar, gelatin, starch, alginate, DNA, Tween 20 and Tween 80. Does not hydrolyse casein, cellulose (CM-cellulose and filter paper), chitin or Tween 40. Forms acid from D-glucose, L-fucose, D-maltose, L-rhamnose and D-sucrose, but not from L-arabinose, Dcellobiose, D-galactose, D-lactose, D-melibiose, L-sorbose, Lraffinose, DL-xylose, N -acetylglucosamine, citrate, adonitol, dulcitol, glycerol, inositol or mannitol. Utilizes L-arabinose, D-lactose, D-mannose and mannitol, but not inositol, sorbitol, malonate or citrate. Nitrate is reduced. H2S, indole and acetoin (Voges���Proskauer reaction) are not produced. Susceptible to carbenicillin, lincomycin, oleandomycin and streptomycin, but resistant to ampicillin, benzylpenicillin, gentamicin, kanamycin, neomycin, polymyxin B and tetracycline. The predominant fatty acids are 15: 0 (14��4 %), i15: 0 (22��5 %), i15: 0 3 -OH (4��6 %), i15: 1 (10��4 %) and i17: 0 3 -OH (15��1 %). The major lipoquinone is MK-6. The G+C content of the DNA is 37��1 mol%. The type strain is KMM 3526T (= LMG 22069T = CCUG 47080T). Isolated from sea water., Published as part of Olga I.

Description of Zobellia russellii sp. nov. Zobellia russellii (rus9sel.li.i. N.L. gen. n. russellii of H. L. Russell, the American scientist, for his contribution to the development of marine microbiology). Cells range from 0��4���0��5 ��m in width and from 1��2 to 1��4 ��m in length. On marine agar, colonies are 2���4 mm in diameter, circular, shiny with entire edges, pigmented dark orange and sunken in the agar. Growth occurs at 4���38 ��C, with the optimum at 25���28 ��C, and at salt concentrations between 1 and 10 % NaCl, with the optimum at 2���3 %. Decomposes agar, gelatin, starch, alginate, DNA, Tween 20, Tween 40 and Tween 80. Does not hydrolyse casein, cellulose (CM-cellulose and filter paper) or chitin. Forms acid from L-arabinose, D-cellobiose, D-glucose, L-fucose, Dmaltose, L-rhamnose, D-sucrose, DL-xylose and mannitol, but not from D-galactose, D-lactose, D-melibiose, L-sorbose, D-raffinose, N -acetylglucosamine, citrate, adonitol, dulcitol, glycerol or inositol.

The G+C content of the DNA is 38��6 mol%. The type strain is KMM 3677T (= LMG 22071T = CCUG 47084T). Isolated from the green alga Acrosiphonia sonderi., Published as part of Olga I.
