N2 - A Gram-negative, motile, and rod-shaped bacterial strain, UDC354T, was isolated from the seawater of Dokdo, Korea. The strain UDC354T displayed optimal growth at 30–37 °C in the presence of 0–2 % (w/v) NaCl at pH 8. Strain UDC354T was found to contain Q-8 and 9 as isoprenoid ubiquinones; C16:0 (22.9 %), summed feature 3 (iso-C15:0 2-OH and C16:1ω7c) (21.4 %) and C18:1ω7c (12.2 %) as the major fatty acids; and diphosphatidylglycerol, phosphatidylglycerol, and phosphatidylethanolamine as the major polar lipids. The DNA G+C content was found to be 54.1 mol %. Phylogenetic analysis based on 16S rRNA gene sequences showed that strain UDC354T belongs to the genus Bowmanella, of the family Alteromonadaceae, and is closely related to Bowmanella pacifica W3-3AT (95.2 %) and Bowmanella denitrificans BD1T (95.0 %). It was found that strain UDC354T is exoelectrogenic and is capable of generating 6.6 μW/cm3 in marine broth in the microbial fuel cells. Based on the analysis of the phenotypic, chemotypic and phylogenetic characteristics, a new species, Bowmanella dokdonensis sp. nov. is proposed. The type strain is UDC354T (=KCTC 42147T=JCM 30855T).
