A comprehensive taxonomic re-evaluation was performed on the marine, zeaxanthin-producing bacterium formerly classified as [Favobacterium] sp. strain R-1 512 (ATCC 21588). This strain, together with two other previously described marine isolates, [Flavobacterium] strain R-1506 and Paracoccus sp. strain MBIC 3966, were found to comprise a new species of the genus Paracoccus. The name Paracoccus zeaxanthinifaciens sp. nov. is proposed, with ATCC 21588T (= R-1512T =LMG 21293T) designated as the type strain.

A novel Paracoccus-related strain, designated YLB-12, was isolated from a sediment sample from the tidal zone of Shapowei Port, Xiamen, Fujian Province, PR China. The novel strain is a Gram-stain-negative, short, rod-shaped, nonmotile, catalase- and oxidase-positive strain that grows at 10-37 °C and pH 5.0-9.

Cyclic triterpenes are a large group of secondary metabolites produced by plants, fungi and bacteria. They have diverse biological functions, and offer potential health benefits for humans. Although various terpenes from the mono-, sesqui- and diterpene classes are easy to produce in engineered bacteria, heterologous synthesis of cyclic triterpenes is more challenging.
