Strain GJMS-9T grew optimally at 30 °C, at pH 7.0–8.0 and in the presence of 2.0 % (w/v) NaCl. Phylogenetic trees based on 16S rRNA gene sequences revealed that strain GJMS-9T clustered with the type strain of Mesoflavibacter zeaxanthinifaciens , showing the highest sequence similarity of 99.1 %. Strain GJMS-9T exhibited 16S rRNA gene sequence similarity of 96.5 % to the type strain of Mesoflavibacter aestuarii and of less than 96.1 % to the type strains of other recognized species. Strain GJMS-9T contained MK-6 as the only menaquinone and iso-C15 : 1 G, iso-C16 : 0 3-OH, iso-C15 : 0 and iso-C17 : 0 3-OH as the major fatty acids. The polar lipid profile of strain GJMS-9T containing phosphatidylethanolamine, one unidentified lipid and one unidentified glycolipid as major components was similar to that of the type strain of M. zeaxanthinifaciens . The DNA G+C content of strain GJMS-9T was 32.2 mol% and its DNA–DNA relatedness with M. zeaxanthinifaciens DSM 18436T was 38±6.1 %. The differential phenotypic properties, together with the phylogenetic and genetic distinctiveness, revealed that strain GJMS-9T is separated from other species of the genus Mesoflavibacter . On the basis of the data presented, strain GJMS-9T is considered to represent a novel species of the genus Mesoflavibacter , for which the name Mesoflavibacter sabulilitoris sp. nov. is proposed. The type strain is GJMS-9T ( = KCTC 42117T = CECT 8597T).", }
