The two isolates lacked bacteriochlorophyll a and contained ubiquinone-10 (Q-10) as the predominant respiratory lipoquinone and C18 : 1 ω7c and C17 : 1 ω6c as the major fatty acids. The DNA G+C contents of strains SW-135T and SW-161T were 62·2 and 64·5 mol%, respectively. Phylogenetic analyses based on 16S rRNA gene sequences showed that the two strains fall within the radiation of the cluster comprising Erythrobacter species. Strains SW-135T and SW-161T exhibited a 16S rRNA gene sequence similarity value of 96·9 % and a mean DNA–DNA relatedness level of 12·3 %. Sequence similarities between strains SW-135T and SW-161T and the type strains of recognized Erythrobacter species ranged from 96·7 to 98·5 %. Levels of DNA–DNA relatedness were low enough to indicate that strains SW-135T and SW-161T represent members of two species separate from all recognized Erythrobacter species. On the basis of polyphasic taxonomic data, strains SW-135T (=KCTC 12228T=DSM 16221T) and SW-161T (=KCTC 12227T=DSM 16225T) were classified as two novel Erythrobacter species, for which the names Erythrobacter seohaensis sp. nov. and Erythrobacter gaetbuli sp. nov. are proposed, respectively.", }
