Three strains of prosthecate, budding bacteria, MHS-2(T), MHS-3(T) and VP6(
T), were isolated from marine habitats including the open ocean (the pelagi
c zone), the offshore region (the neritic zone) and the hydrothermal vent r
egion. A polyphasic approach including 16S rDNA sequencing. phenotypic anal
yses, serology, fatty acid analyses, membrane protein profiles and DNA-DNA
hybridizations was used to place these strains in the genus Hyphomonas, a t
axon of the alpha-Proteobacteria. The results of these analyses also showed
that strains MHS-3(T), MHS-2(T) and VP6(T) each represent a new species of
Hyphomonas. The names Hyphomonas adhaerens (type strain MHS-3(T), ATCC 439
65(T)), Hyphomonas johnsonii (type strain MHS-2(T), ATCC 43964(T)) and Hyph
omonas rosenbergii (type strain VP6(T), ATCC 43869(T)) are proposed for the
new species. With these additions, Hyphomonas now contains eight species.
