| Abstract |
We have isolated two strains of extremely barophilic bacteria from sediment collected from the world's deepest ocean floor in the Mariana Trench, Challenger Deep, at a depth of 10898m [Kato C, Li L, Nogi Y, Nakamura Y, Tamaoka J, Horikoshi K (1998) Appl Environ Microbiol 64:1510-1513]. One strain, DB21MT-2, was identified as a strain of Shewanella benthica, and the other strain, DB21MT-5, is closely affiliated with members of the genus Moritella on the basis of 16S rDNA sequence analysis. The hybridization values for DNA-DNA relatedness between DB21MT-5 and the Moritella reference strains were significantly lower than that accepted as the phylogenetic definition of a species. Based on this and other taxonomic differences, strain DB21MT-5 appears to represent a novel obligately barophilic deep-sea Moritella species. The name Moritella yaynanosii (JCM 10263) is proposed. This is the first proposed species of obligately barophilic bacteria of the genus Moritella. |

Attention Score in Context
This research output has an Altmetric Attention Score of 12. This is our high-level measure of the quality and quantity of online attention that it has received. This Attention Score, as well as the ranking and number of research outputs shown below, was calculated when the research output was last mentioned on 04 June 2015.
All research outputs
#2,863,852
of 25,374,647 outputs
Outputs from Extremophiles
#28
of 816 outputs
Outputs of similar age
#3,821
of 109,586 outputs
Outputs of similar age from Extremophiles
#1
of 5 outputs
Altmetric has tracked 25,374,647 research outputs across all sources so far. Compared to these this one has done well and is in the 88th percentile: it's in the top 25% of all research outputs ever tracked by Altmetric.
So far Altmetric has tracked 816 research outputs from this source. They receive a mean Attention Score of 4.3. This one has done particularly well, scoring higher than 96% of its peers.
Older research outputs will score higher simply because they've had more time to accumulate mentions. To account for age we can compare this Altmetric Attention Score to the 109,586 tracked outputs that were published within six weeks on either side of this one in any source. This one has done particularly well, scoring higher than 95% of its contemporaries.
We're also able to compare this research output to 5 others from the same source and published within six weeks on either side of this one. This one has scored higher than all of them
