Phylogenetic analyses of the 16S rRNA gene sequences showed that strain CL-SK30T formed a robust clade together with C. marinus, but the sequence divergence value of 8 % between them indicated that the novel bacterium represented a distinct lineage. Strain CL-SK30T grew optimally in the presence of 2–5 % sea salts at 30–35 °C and pH 7.2–8.0. The major polar lipids were phosphatidylglycerol, diphosphatidylglycerol, two unidentified glycolipids, an unidentified phospholipid and an unidentified lipid. Ubiquinone 10 was the major quinone. The DNA G+C content was 52.7 mol%. Based on its phenotypic, chemotaxonomic and phylogenetic characteristics, strain CL-SK30T represents a novel genus and species of the family Hyphomicrobiaceae, for which the name Maritalea myrionectae gen. nov., sp. nov. is proposed. The type strain is CL-SK30T (=KCCM 90060T=DSM 19524T).", }
