Proteobacteria / Gammaproteobacteria / Oceanospirillales / Endozoicomonadaceae / Sansalvadorimonas

The genus Sansalvadorimonas accommodates bacteria with motile and rod-shaped cells. Non-spore-forming. Gram-strain-negative. Aerobic or facultatively anaerobic. Catalase- and oxidase-variable Sansalvadorimonas species are able to grow between 15 and 42°C. The species grow at a pH range of 6.0–9.0 and in the presence of 0.5–10% NaCl.

A genome sequence for the type strain of the only described species, Sansalvadorimonas verongulae, is available. Predominant cellular fatty acids of all Sansalvadorimonas species are a summed feature composed of C_16 : 1 ω7c and/or C_16 : 1 ω6c, C_18 : 1 ω7c and/or C_18 : 1 ω6c, and C_16 : 0. The major polar lipids are diphosphatidylglycerol, phosphatidylglycerol, phosphoethanolamine, and some unidentified lipids. The major respiratory quinone is ubiquinone Q-9. The genus is a member of the class Gammaproteobacteria, order Oceanospirillales, forming a monophyletic clade within the family Endozoicomonadaceae. Known habitat of the one and single species Sansalvadorimonas verongulae is the marine sponge Verongula gigantea.

DNA G + C content (mol%): 42.3 (HPLC, T_m).

Type species: Sansalvadorimonas verongulae Goldberg et al. 2018^VP.
