Cells were catalase- and oxidase-positive long rods with gliding motility. Growth of strain KJ4T was observed at 4–37 °C (optimum, 15–25 °C), at pH 6.0–9.0 (optimum, pH 7.0–8.5) and in the presence of 1.0–7.0 % (w/v) NaCl (optimum, 2.0–5.0 %). Menaquinone 6 (MK-6) was the only isoprenoid quinone detected and iso-C15 : 0, iso-C17 : 0 3-OH, iso-C15 : 1 G and summed feature 3 (comprising C16 : 1ω7c and/or C16 : 1ω6c) were the major cellular fatty acids. The polar lipids of strain KJ4T consisted of phosphatidylethanolamine, an unidentified aminophospholipid and five unidentified lipids. The G+C content of the genomic DNA was 38.0 mol%. Phylogenetic analysis based on 16S rRNA gene sequences showed that strain KJ4T formed a distinct phylogenetic lineage within the genus Maribacter. Strain KJ4T was most closely related to Maribacter orientalis KMM 3947T with 97.4 % 16S rRNA gene sequence similarity. On the basis of phenotypic, chemotaxonomic and molecular features, strain KJ4T clearly represents a novel species of the genus Maribacter, for which the name Maribacter lutimaris sp. nov. is proposed. The type strain is KJ4T ( = KACC 16438T = JCM 31154T). %U https://www.microbiologyresearch.org/content/journal/ijsem/10.1099/ijsem.0.000942
