Strain HDW-19T grew optimally at pH 7.0–8.0, at 30 °C and in the presence of 2–3 % (w/v) NaCl. Bacteriochlorophyll a was not produced by strain HDW-19T. Neighbour-joining, maximum-likelihood and maximum-parsimony phylogenetic trees based on 16S rRNA gene sequences showed that strain HDW-19T clustered with Pseudorhodobacter ferrugineus IAM 12616T, with which it shared 96.4 % similarity. A neighbour-joining phylogenetic tree based on gyrB gene sequences showed that strain HDW-19T also clustered with the type strain of P. ferrugineus, sharing 83.0 % similarity. Strain HDW-19T contained Q-10 as the predominant ubiquinone and C18 : 1ω7c as the major fatty acid. The major polar lipids were phosphatidylcholine, phosphatidylglycerol, three unidentified aminophospholipids and two unidentified aminolipids. The DNA G+C content of strain HDW-19T was 60.9 mol%. Differential phenotypic properties, together with phylogenetic distinctiveness, showed that strain HDW-19T can be differentiated from P. ferrugineus. On this basis, strain HDW-19T is considered to represent a novel species of the genus Pseudorhodobacter, for which the name Pseudorhodobacter aquimaris sp. nov. is proposed. The type strain is HDW-19T ( = KCTC 23043T  = CCUG 58879T).", }
