Cells were yellow-pigmented, strictly aerobic, motile by gliding, Gram-negative-staining and rod-shaped. The temperature, pH and NaCl ranges for growth were 4–35 °C, pH 5.5–9.5 and 1.0–5.0 %, respectively. Phylogenetic analysis based on 16S rRNA gene sequences indicated that strain F081-2T belonged to a distinct lineage in the genus Winogradskyella of the family Flavobacteriaceae , sharing 93.7–98.1 % similarity with recognized members of the genus. Low levels of DNA–DNA relatedness values were found between strain F081-2T and Winogradskyella eximia KCTC 12219T (61.1 %), Winogradskyella thalassocola KCTC 12221T (47.0 %), Winogradskyella echinorum KCTC 22026T (39.3 %), Winogradskyella rapida CCUG 56098T (34.3 %) and Winogradskyella arenosi JCM 17633T (33.4 %). The major cellular fatty acids were iso-C15 : 0 (25.3 %), iso-C15 : 1 G (14.6 %), iso-C17 : 0 3-OH (9.3 %), anteiso-C15 : 0 (7.8 %) and iso-C15 : 0 3-OH (7.6 %). The polar lipid profile was composed of phosphatidylethanolamine, one unidentified aminolipid, one unidentified phospholipid, one unidentified aminophospholipid and six unidentified lipids. The major respiratory quinone was menaquinone-6 and the DNA G+C content of the strain was 32.3 mol%. On the basis of phenotypic, phylogenetic and genotypic data, strain F081-2T represents a novel species within the genus Winogradskyella , for which the name Winogradskyella damuponensis sp. nov. is proposed. The type strain is F081-2T ( = KCTC 23552T = JCM 17633T). %U https://www.microbiologyresearch.org/content/journal/ijsem/10.1099/ijs.0.041384-0
