Fulvivirga aurantia sp. nov. and Xanthovirga aplysinae gen. nov., sp. nov., marine bacteria isolated from the sponge Aplysina fistularis, and emended description of the genus Fulvivirga
Bibliographic record
Abstract
Two Gram-stain-negative, strictly aerobic, marine bacteria, designated as strains RKSG066T and RKSG123T, were isolated from a sponge Aplysina fistularis collected at a depth of 15 m off the west coast of San Salvador, The Bahamas. Investigation of nearly full-length 16S rRNA gene and whole genome-based phylogenies revealed that both strains belong to the order Cytophagales within the class Cytophagia and phylum Bacteroidetes . Strain RKSG066T formed a monophyletic clade with described members of the genus Fulvivirga , while strain RKSG123T formed a well-supported paraphyletic branch apart from this and other related genera within the family Flammeovirgaceae . For both RKSG066T and RKSG123T, optimal growth parameters were 30–37 °C, pH 7–8 and 2–3 % (w/v) NaCl; cells were catalase- and oxidase-positive, and flexirubin-type pigments were absent. The predominant fatty acids were iso-C15 : 0, C16 : 0, C18 : 0, iso-C17 : 0 3-OH, C16 : 1 ω5c, iso-C15 : 0 3-OH, C18 : 1 ω9c and iso-C15 : 1 G for RKSG066T, and iso-C17 : 0 3-OH, C16 : 1 ω5c, iso-C15 : 0, C16 : 0 3-OH and summed feature 4 (iso-C17 : 1 I and/or anteiso-C17 : 1 B) for RKSG123T. Menaquinone-7 was the major respiratory quinone for both strains. The DNA G+C contents of RKSG066T and RKSG123T were 39.5 and 36.7 mol%, respectively. On the basis of phylogenetic distinctiveness and polyphasic analysis, the type strain RKSG066T (=TSD-73T=LMG 29870T) is proposed to represent a novel species of the genus Fulvivirga , for which the name Fulvivirga aurantia sp. nov. is proposed. The type strain RKSG123T (=TSD-75T=LMG 30075T) is proposed to represent the type species of a novel genus and species with the proposed name Xanthovirga aplysinae gen. nov., sp. nov. Additionally, the genus Fulvivirga is emended to include strains of orange-pigmented colonies that contain the predominant cellular fatty acids C16 : 0, C18 : 0, C16 : 1 ω5c and C18 : 1 ω9c.

Full frame machine prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. The Gemma side is a direct model label for every work in the frame, read from the title-only record. The Codex side is a classifier learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and calibrated to design-weighted sample rates; fields without enough sample support carry no Codex call. Candidate is the union of the two sides; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; a candidate call from one source (direct Gemma or distilled Codex), not a consensus.
