Phylogenetic analyses based on 16S rRNA gene sequences revealed that strain G18T was most closely related to Phaeocystidibacter luteus PG2S01T with 95.3 % similarity. Growth of strain G18T occurred at 10–42 °C (optimum 28–37 °C), pH 5.0–9.0 (optimum pH 6.0–8.0) and in the presence of 0.5–10 % NaCl (optimum 2–5 %). The major fatty acids of strain G18T were iso-C15 : 0, summed feature 3 (C16 : 1ω7c and/or C16 : 1ω6c), iso-C15 : 1 G and iso-C17 : 0 3-OH. The major polar lipids were phosphatidylethanolamine, unidentified aminolipids, phospholipids and other lipids. The predominant quinone was menaquinone 6 (MK-6). The G+C content of the genomic DNA from strain G18T was 39.0 mol%. Based on the phylogenetic and phenotypic properties, strain G18T represents a novel species of the genus Phaeocystidibacter, for which the name Phaeocystidibacter marisrubri sp. nov. is proposed. The type strain is G18T ( = CGMCC 1.14954T = JCM 30614T)., UL https://www.microbiologyresearch.org/content/journal/ijsem/10.1099/ijs.0.000243
