A novel aerobic, non-motile, Gram-positive, pink–orange-pigmented, coccoid marine bacterium, designated strain SJ2T, was isolated from the Gwangalli coast of Korea. The taxonomic position of strain SJ2T was determined based on 16S rRNA gene sequence analysis, fatty acid patterns and physiological reaction profiles. The full-length 16S rRNA gene sequence of strain SJ2T showed highest similarity to those of the type strains of Kocuria carniphila and Kocuria marina. Strain SJ2T exhibited mean levels of DNA–DNA relatedness of 17 and 35 % to the type strains of K. carniphila and K. marina, respectively. Based on these results, strain SJ2T is considered to represent a novel species of the genus Kocuria, for which the name Kocuria gwangalliensis sp. nov. is proposed. The type strain is SJ2T (=KCCM 42914T =LMG 24672T).
