Abstract

Two groups of nocardioform organisms isolated from marine sediments were studied, along with representative strains of the genera and Strains of the red- or orange-colored group showed no marine affinity and exhibited a close relationship to The 17 marine isolates of the cream-colored group formed a homogeneous well-separated cluster and were particularly characterized as moderately halophilic and psychrotrophic organisms. These isolates were assigned to a new species within the genus We propose the name referring to the exclusive occurrence of this taxon in the sea, and describe the properties of the species and of type strain 3438W (= DSM 43752).
