A novel bacterial strain, designated GCR0105T, was isolated from a water sample of the Mangyung estuary enclosed by the Saemangeum Embankment, located in JEOLlabuk-do, South Korea. Cells of strain GCR0105T were Gram-stain-negative, non-motile and rod-shaped. Colonies of strain GCR0105T were pale yellow-pigmented on R2A agar and nutrient agar media, and were able to grow at 15–30 °C (optimum 25 °C) and pH 6.5–8.5 (optimum pH 7.5). Phylogenetic analysis based on 16S rRNA gene sequences revealed that strain GCR0105T was related most closely to Flavisolibacter ginsengisoli Gsoil 643T (93.14 % similarity). The polar lipid profile of strain GCR0105T comprised phosphatidylethanolamine, two unknown aminolipids, an unknown aminophospholipid and four unknown lipids. The DNA G+C content of strain GCR0105T was 42.9 mol% and the respiratory quinone was MK-7.On the basis of phenotypic, chemotaxonomic and phylogenetic properties, strain GCR0105T represents a novel species in a new genus within the family Chitinophagaceae, for which the name Flaviaesturariibacter amylovorans gen. nov., sp. nov. is proposed. The type strain of Flaviaesturariibacter amylovorans is GCR0105T ( = KACC 16454T = JCM 17919T).
