sp. nov., a novel marine bacterium isolated from the Atlantic Ocean.

A bacterial strain, PhyBa_CO2_2, was isolated from the North Atlantic Gyre, offshore Terceira Island in the Azores. Initially, the NCBI nucleotide blast analysis based on 16S rRNA gene sequences revealed that the strain belongs to the genus , with a 100 % identity with LMG 19861. However, further genomic characterization through average nucleotide identity (ANI) and digital DNA-DNA hybridization analyses showed values of 96.
