A novel short-rod-shaped bacterial strain with poly-β-hydroxybutyric acid granules inside, designated as Z7-4T , was isolated from a culture of a marine dinoflagellate with palytoxin-producing capacity, Ostreopsis lenticularis OS06, collected from the East China Sea. Cells of Z7-4T were Gram-stain-negative, non-motile, strictly aerobic, 0.9-1.2 µm wide and 2.0-3.9 µm long. Growth occurred in 1-4 % (w/v) NaCl, at 15-37 °C and at pH 5.0-10.0, with optimum growth in 3.5 % (w/v) NaCl, at 30 °C and at pH 7...
