Strain YCS-6T grew optimally at 30 °C and with 2 % (w/v) NaCl. Phylogenetic analysis based on 16S rRNA gene sequences revealed that strain YCS-6T fell within the genus Tenacibaculum and was most closely associated with Tenacibaculum litopenaei B-IT, with which the isolate exhibited 95.9 % 16S rRNA gene sequence similarity. Sequence similarity between strain YCS-6T and other members of the genus Tenacibaculum was 93.8–95.7 %. Strain YCS-6T contained menaquinone-6 (MK-6) as the predominant respiratory quinone and iso-C15 : 0, summed feature 3 (iso-C15 : 0 2-OH and/or C16 : 1ω7c), iso-C15 : 0 3-OH and iso-C15 : 1 G as the major fatty acids. The DNA G+C content was 32.7 mol%. Differential phenotypic properties and phylogenetic distinctiveness distinguished strain YCS-6T from all other members of the genus Tenacibaculum. On the basis of our phenotypic, chemotaxonomic and phylogenetic data, strain YCS-6T is considered to represent a novel species of the genus Tenacibaculum, for which the name Tenacibaculum geojense sp. nov. is proposed. The type strain is YCS-6T ( = KCTC 23423T  = CCUG 60527T). %U https://www.microbiologyresearch.org/content/journal/ijsem/10.1099/ijs.0.029702-0
