| Abstract |
Three Gram-negative, aerobic, halophilic bacterial strains, SCM2-10(T), SCM-4, and 14C-6, were isolated from the algal medium of the red alga Pyropia yezoensis (previously classified as Porphyra yezoensis) grown in laboratory experiments. Phylogenetic analysis based on 16S rRNA gene sequences revealed that the organisms with high similarities to the three isolates are Sulfitobacter geojensis MM-124(T) (98.7 %), Sulfitobacter noctilucicola NB-77(T) (98.7 %), Sulfitobacter noctilucae NB-68(T) (98.6 %), Sulfitobacter mediterraneus CH-B427(T) (97.6 %), and Sulfitobacter porphyrae SCM-1(T) (97.6 %), and that the three isolates belong to the genus Sulfitobacter, within the class Alphaproteobacteria. The DNA G+C contents of the three isolates were found to be in the range of 56.5-57.1 mol%. DNA-DNA hybridization experiments demonstrated that the genomic relatedness between strain SCM2-10(T) and type strains of other Sulfitobacter species was in the range of 6.2-27.1 %. The predominant respiratory quinone of the three isolates was identified as ubiquinone-10. The dominant polar lipids in the three isolates were found to be phosphatidylcholine, phosphatidylethanolamine, phosphatidylglycerol, and an unidentified amino lipid. The major fatty acid in the three isolates is C18:1 ω7c. Strain SCM2-10(T) demonstrated unique phenotypic characteristics, which differed from those of type strains of other Sulfitobacter species. Based on the phylogenetic, genetic, phenotypic, and chemotaxonomic data, we propose a novel species of the genus Sulfitobacter, which we named as Sulfitobacter pacificus sp. nov. The type strain of this species is strain SCM2-10(T) (=LMG 27113(T) = NBRC 109915(T)). |

Attention Score in Context
This research output has an Altmetric Attention Score of 1. 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 25 February 2015.
All research outputs
#20,262,276
of 22,793,427 outputs
Outputs from Antonie van Leeuwenhoek
#1,737
of 2,024 outputs
Outputs of similar age
#215,405
of 255,548 outputs
Outputs of similar age from Antonie van Leeuwenhoek
#43
of 60 outputs
Altmetric has tracked 22,793,427 research outputs across all sources so far. This one is in the 1st percentile – i.e., 1% of other outputs scored the same or lower than it.
So far Altmetric has tracked 2,024 research outputs from this source. They receive a mean Attention Score of 3.6. This one is in the 1st percentile – i.e., 1% of its peers scored the same or lower than it.
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 255,548 tracked outputs that were published within six weeks on either side of this one in any source. This one is in the 1st percentile – i.e., 1% of its contemporaries scored the same or lower than it.
We're also able to compare this research output to 60 others from the same source and published within six weeks on either side of this one. This one is in the 1st percentile – i.e., 1% of its contemporaries scored the same or lower than it.
