Based on the 16S rRNA gene sequence analysis, strain CBA3202T was allocated to the genus Gillisia (family Flavobacteriaceae ) and was most closely related to the type strain of Gillisia mitskevichiae (99.0 % 16S rRNA gene sequence similarity). Optimal growth occurred at 25 °C and with 3 % NaCl. The only isoprenoid quinone was menaquinone-6 (MK-6), the predominant fatty acids were C16 : 0, iso-C15 : 1 G, iso-C16 : 0 and summed feature 3 (comprising C16 : 1ω6c and/or C16 : 1ω7c), and the DNA G+C content was 34.9 mol%. The polar lipids were phosphatidylethanolamine, two unidentified aminolipids and several unidentified polar lipids. Based on phylogenetic inference and phenotypic data, we conclude that strain CBA3202T represents a novel species of the genus Gillisia , for which the name Gillisia marina sp. nov. is proposed. The type strain is CBA3202T ( = KACC 16693T = KCTC 32030T = JCM 18402T). An emended description of the genus Gillisia is also provided. %U https://www.microbiologyresearch.org/content/journal/ijsem/10.1099/ijs.0.048116-0
