A Gram-staining-positive, aerobic, non-motile, irregular coccus, designated strain YIM M13146T, was isolated from a sediment sample collected from the South China Sea at a depth of 2439 m, and its taxonomic position was determined by a polyphasic approach. Optimal growth of the strain was observed at 30 °C (range 5–40 °C), pH 7.0 (pH 6.0–9.0) and 0–1 % NaCl (0–6 %, w/v) on/in tryptic soy agar/broth. Strain YIM M13146T had the major cellular fatty acid anteiso-C15 : 0, the predominant respiratory menaquinone MK-9(H4), peptidoglycan type A3γ (ll-DAP–Gly) containing alanine, glycine, glutamic acid and ll-diaminopimelic acid (ll-DAP) and the polar lipids phosphatidylcholine, diphosphatidylglycerol, one unknown phospholipid and several glycolipids. The G+C content of the DNA was 67.2 mol%. Phenotypic and chemotaxonomic characteristics together with 16S rRNA gene sequence analyses showed that strain YIM M13146T was distinct from its close phylogenetic relatives in the genera Propioniferax and Granulicoccus of the family Propionibacteriaceae. Hence, a new genus and species, Mariniluteicoccus flavus gen. nov., sp. nov., is proposed. The type strain of Mariniluteicoccus flavus is YIM M13146T ( = DSM 25892T = CCTCC AB 2012055T).
