Phylogenetic analysis based on 16S rRNA gene sequences indicated that strain IMCC1412T was most closely related to Kordia algicida, with a sequence similarity of 96.7 %, but only distantly related to other species in the family Flavobacteriaceae (<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 IMCC1412T ( = KACC 14311T = KCTC 22801T = NBRC 106077T) should be assigned to the genus Kordia as the type strain of a novel species, for which the name Kordia periserrulae sp. nov. is proposed. An emended description of the genus Kordia is also presented. %U https://www.microbiologyresearch.org/content/journal/ijsem/10.1099/ijs.0.022764-0
