Based on comparative 16S rRNA gene sequence analysis, strain KMM 9031T constituted a separate phylogenetic line within the Roseobacter clade of the class Alphaproteobacteria, sharing highest sequence similarities with members of the genera Roseovarius (92.7–95.3 %), Pseudoruegeria (94.5 %), Sulfitobacter (92.7–94.4 %) and Thalassobacter (94.2–94.3 %). The predominant fatty acid of strain KMM 9031T was C18 : 1ω7c, with C16 : 0, C10 : 0 3-OH and C12 : 1 3-OH present in lesser amounts. The DNA G+C content of the isolate was 52.6 mol%. The major isoprenoid quinone was Q-10 and polar lipids comprised phosphatidylcholine, phosphatidylglycerol, diphosphatidylglycerol and two unknown lipids. On the basis of phylogenetic analysis and physiological and biochemical characterization, strain KMM 9031T represents a novel species in a new genus, for which the name Pacificibacter maritimus gen. nov., sp. nov. is proposed; the type strain is KMM 9031T ( = NRIC 0785T  = JCM 17096T).", }
