Strain CC-AMSZ-TT shared 94.9 % and 96.7–94.1 % 16S rRNA gene sequence similarities with Gramella echinicola KMM 6050T and other species of the genus Gramella , respectively, and formed a distinct phyletic lineage in phylogenetic trees. The major (≥5 % of the total) fatty acids were C16 : 0, iso-C15 : 0, anteiso-C15 : 0, C16 : 1ω6c and/or C16 : 1ω7c and iso-C17 : 1ω9c and/or C16 : 0 10-methyl. Phosphatidylethanolamine, six unidentified lipids and three unidentified aminolipids were the polar lipid components. The DNA G+C content was 38.6 mol%. The predominant respiratory quinone was menaquinone-6 (MK-6). Based on the phylogenetic distinctiveness and distinguishing phenotypic characteristics, strain CC-AMSZ-TT represents a novel species of the genus Gramella , for which the name Gramella oceani sp. nov. is proposed. The type strain is CC-AMSZ-TT ( = JCM 18809T = BCRC 80547T).", }
