Cells were Gram-negative, catalase- and oxidase-positive and had proteolytic activity. The major fatty acids were iso-C15 : 0 (17.2 %), C16 : 0 (11.1 %), iso-C17 : 0 (10.5 %) and C18 : 1 ω7c (10.0 %). The DNA G+C content was 56.4 mol%. A phylogenetic tree based on 16S rRNA gene sequences showed that strain KYW314T formed a lineage within the genus Pseudidiomarina (95.4–97.3 % sequence similarity) and a distinct branch within the clade containing Pseudidiomarina taiwanensis PIT1T and Pseudidiomarina sediminum c121T. Phenotypic characteristics could distinguish strain KYW314T from members of the genus Pseudidiomarina. On the basis of the data presented, strain KYW314T represents a novel species, for which the name Pseudidiomarina aestuarii sp. nov. is proposed. The type strain is KYW314T (=KCTC 22740T =JCM 16344T)., UL https://www.microbiologyresearch.org/content/journal/ijsem/10.1099/ijs.0.018051-0
