Strain DPG-138T grew optimally at 30 °C and in the presence of 2–3 % (w/v) NaCl. A neighbour-joining phylogenetic tree based on 16S rRNA gene sequences revealed that strain DPG-138T fell within the cluster comprising the type strains of four species of the genus Marivita (sequence similarity values of 97.8–98.2 %). The DNA G+C content was 59.9 mol%. The predominant ubiquinone of strain DPG-138T was Q-10, typical for the genus Marivita . The cellular fatty acid profiles of strain DPG-138T and type strains of four species of the genus Marivita were similar with C18 : 1ω7c as the most common fatty acid. The major polar lipids in strain DPG-138T were phosphatidylcholine, phosphatidylglycerol, phosphatidylethanolamine and one unidentified aminolipid. Differential phenotypic properties and genetic distinctiveness of strain DPG-138T demonstrated that this strain is distinguishable from all four recognized species of the genus Marivita . On the basis of the data presented, strain DPG-138T is considered to represent a novel species of the genus Marivita , for which the name Marivita geojedonensis sp. nov. is proposed. The type strain is DPG-138T ( = KCTC 23882T = CCUG 62112T). %U https://www.microbiologyresearch.org/content/journal/ijsem/10.1099/ijs.0.039065-0
