Growth occurred at 10–45 °C, at pH 5–9 and with 1–15 % NaCl. Strain YCSA40T showed the highest 16S rRNA gene sequence similarity to Marinobacter segnicrescens SS011B1-4T (97 %) and M. gudaonensis SL014B61AT (96.9 %) and 16S rRNA gene sequence phylogenetic analysis assigned the isolate to the genus Marinobacter. Strain YCSA40T contained C18 : 1ω9c (34.8 %), C16 : 0 (11.6 %), C19 : 0 cyclo ω10c/C19 : 1ω6c (10.5 %), C16 : 1ω9c (8.4 %), C17 : 0 (6.3 %) and C12 : 0 3-OH (5.8 %) as the predominant fatty acids. The DNA G+C content was 60.8 mol% and the major ubiquinone was Q-9. These chemotaxonomic characters were all consistent with membership of the genus Marinobacter. DNA–DNA relatedness between the isolate and M. segnicrescens CGMCC 1.6489T, M. gudaonensis CGMCC 1.6294T and other type strains of species of the genus Marinobacter was ≤30 %. On the basis of the aforementioned data, it was concluded that strain YCSA40T represents a novel species of the genus Marinobacter, for which the name Marinobacter daqiaonensis sp. nov. is proposed. The type strain is YCSA40T ( = CGMCC 1.9167T  = NCCB 100308T  = LMG 25365T).", }
