It grew optimally at 25–30 °C, at pH 7.0–8.0 and in the presence of 3 % NaCl. Comparative 16S rRNA gene sequence analysis revealed that strain GJ16T formed a distinct lineage within the family Flavobacteriaceae and shared less than 91.2 % 16S rRNA gene sequence similarity with members of the genera Leptobacterium, Zhouia, Winogradskyella, Dokdonia and Krokinobacter. The predominant cellular fatty acids were iso-C15 : 0 (40.2 %), iso-C15 : 1 G (12.8 %), iso-C17 : 0 3-OH (11.2 %) and C15 : 0 (6.6 %). The G+C content of the genomic DNA was 39.4 mol% and the major respiratory isoprenoid quinone was MK-6. On the basis of phenotypic and genotypic data, strain GJ16T represents a novel species in a new genus in the family Flavobacteriaceae, for which the name Gangjinia marincola gen. nov., sp. nov. is proposed; the type strain is GJ16T (=KCTC 22649T =JCM 16082T)., UL https://www.microbiologyresearch.org/content/journal/ijsem/10.1099/ijs.0.021592-0
