The draft whole-genome sequence of Arcobacter haliotis strain LMG 28652 was obtained and compared against the type strain of Arcobacter lekithochrous LFT 1.7. High similarity was found between the two strains, showing average nucleotide identity and in silico DNA-DNA hybridization values of 98.40 and 86.10 %, respectively. These values indicated that both genomes belonged to the same species, confirming the evidences derived from the phylogenetic analysis performed with the 16S rRNA gene and the concatenated sequences of five housekeeping genes. In addition, the metabolic, physiological and chemotaxonomic features of A. haliotis LMG 28652 were shown to be congruent with those of A. lekithochrous. We conclude that Arcobacter haliotis Tanaka et al. 2017 is a later heterotypic synonym of Arcobacter lekithochrousDiéguez et al. 2017.

Arcobacter have been frequently detected in and isolated from bivalves, but there is very little information on the genus Arcobacter in the abalone, an important fishery resource. This study aimed to investigate the genetic diversity and abundance of bacteria from the genus Arcobacter in the Japanese giant abalone, Haliotis gigantea, using molecular methods such as Arcobacter-specific clone libraries and fluorescence in situ hybridization (FISH). Furthermore, we attempted to isolate the Arcobacter species detected.

A Gram-negative, aerobic, polar-flagellated and rod-shaped, sometimes slightly curved bacterium, designated MA5T, was isolated from the gut of an abalone of the species Haliotis gigantea collected in Japan. Phylogenetic analyses based on 16S rRNA, gyrB, hsp60 and rpoB gene sequences placed strain MA5T in the genus Arcobacter in an independent phylogenetic line. Comparison of the 16S rRNA gene sequence of this strain with those of the type strains of the established Arcobacter species revealed A.
