A marine, Gram-negative, deep-orange-coloured, rod/coccoid-shaped, strictly aerobic, non-motile, oxidase- and catalase-positive bacterial strain, designated YM6-073T, was isolated from sediment collected in Okinawa, Japan. Strain YM6-073T produced the carotenoid (3R,2′S)-myxol. A phylogenetic analysis based on 16S rRNA gene sequences revealed that strain YM6-073T belonged to a distinct lineage in the family Flavobacteriaceae, the closest relative being Robiginitalea biformata HTCC2501T (93.7 % sequence similarity). Strain YM6-073T could be distinguished from other members of the family Flavobacteriaceae by means of a number of phenotypic characteristics. The DNA G+C content was 50.1 mol%. The predominant cellular fatty acids were iso-C15 : 0, iso-C15 : 1 ω10c, iso-C17 : 0 3-OH and C15 : 0, and menaquinone-6 was the only respiratory quinone. DNA–DNA hybridization between strain YM6-073T and R. biformata DSM 15991T showed less than 10 % DNA–DNA relatedness. On the basis of phenotypic, genotypic and phylogenetic features, strain YM6-073T represents a novel species of the genus Robiginitalea, for which the name Robiginitalea myxolifaciens sp. nov. is proposed. The type strain is YM6-073T (=MBIC 06409T=KCTC 22216T=DSM 21019T).
