Zusammenfassung: | A group of three motile facultative anaerobic marine bacteria were isolated from cultured Manila clams (
Ruditapes philippinarum) in Galicia, north-western Spain. The strains were characterized phenotypically and genotypically. Phylogenetic analysis of the 16S rRNA gene and four housekeeping genes, RNA polymerase α-chain (
rpoA), RecA protein (
recA), the α-subunit of bacterial ATP synthase (
atpA) and the uridine monophosphate (UMP) kinase (
pyrH), indicated that these strains were closely related to the
Vibrio splendidus clade. The amplified fragment length polymorphism (AFLP) fingerprints, DNA–DNA hybridizations and phylogenies of the housekeeping and 16S rRNA gene sequences showed that the three strains represented a different species from all currently described vibrios. The new species could be differentiated from its nearest neighbours on the basis of several phenotypic features. The three strains are therefore a novel species within the genus
Vibrio, for which the name
Vibrio gallaecicus is proposed, with the type strain being VB 8.9
