Based on phenotypic, chemotaxonomic, genotypic and phylogenetic data, the isolates were classified in the genus Cellulophaga as members of a novel species, Cellulophaga pacifica sp. nov. The type strain is KMM 3664T (=JCM 11735T=LMG 21938T). %U https://www.microbiologyresearch.org/content/journal/ijsem/10.1099/ijs.0.02737-0
