Abstract

A Gram-negative, chemoheterotrophic, yellow-pigmented, non-motile, flexirubin-negative, facultatively anaerobic bacterium, designated strain IMCC1412, was isolated from a marine polychaete inhabiting a tidal flat of the Yellow Sea, Korea. Phylogenetic analysis based on 16S rRNA gene sequences indicated that strain IMCC1412 was most closely related to , with a sequence similarity of 96.7 %, but only distantly related to other species in the family (<92 % similarity). The G+C content of the DNA was 37.3 mol%. The strain contained MK-6 as the major respiratory quinone and phosphatidylethanolamine, unidentified aminolipids and unidentified polar lipids as the major polar lipids. On the basis of phylogenetic distinctiveness and differential phenotypic characteristics, strain IMCC1412 ( = KACC 14311 = KCTC 22801 = NBRC 106077) should be assigned to the genus as the type strain of a novel species, for which the name sp. nov. is proposed. An emended description of the genus is also presented.
