Thirty-four strains of nonfermentative, respiratory, luminous bacteria were isolated from samples of squid
ink and seawater from depths of 200 to 300 m in the Alboran Sea. Although these strains had a few properties
similar to properties of Shewanella (Alteromonas) hanedai, they did not cluster phenotypically with any previously
described bacterium. The nucleotide sequence of a 740-bp segment of luxA was not homologous with other
known luxA sequences but clustered with the luxA sequences of Shewanella hanedai, Vibrio logei, Vibrio fischeri,
and Photobacterium species. The 16S RNA gene from two strains was sequenced and was found to be most
closely related to the S. hanedai 16S RNA gene. Based on the differences observed, we describe the new isolates
as members of a new species, Shewanella woodyi sp. nov. Strain ATCC 51908 ( = MS32) is the type strain of this
new species. Florida Atlantic University. Harbor Branch Oceanographic Institute contribution 1214 This manuscript is an author version with the final publication available and may be cited as.
