Strain YKTF-3T grew optimally at 30 °C and in the presence of 2.0–4.0 % (w/v) NaCl. Phylogenetic trees based on 16S rRNA gene sequences showed that strain YKTF-3T fell within the clade comprising the type strains of Tenacibaculumspecies. The novel strain exhibited 16S rRNA gene sequence similarity values of 97.22–98.34 % to the type strains of Tenacibaculum gallaicum, Tenacibaculum ascidiaceicola , Tenacibaculum litoreum, Tenacibaculum discolor , Tenacibaculum aestuarii and Tenacibaculum lutimaris, and of 95.08–96.95 % to the type strains of the other Tenacibaculum species. Strain YKTF-3T contained MK-6 as the predominant menaquinone and iso-C15 : 0, summed feature 3 (C16 : 1 ω7c and/or C16 : 1 ω6c) and iso-C17 : 0 3-OH as the major fatty acids. The major polar lipids of strain YKTF-3T were phosphatidylethanolamine, one unidentified lipid, one unidentified aminophospholipid, one unidentified glycolipid and one unidentified aminolipid. The DNA G+C content was 32.3 mol% and its mean DNA–DNA relatedness values with the type strains of the six phylogenetically closely relatedTenacibaculum species were 10–27 %. Differential phenotypic properties, together with phylogenetic and genetic distinctiveness, revealed that strain YKTF-3T is separate from other recognized species of the genus Tenacibaculum . On the basis of the data presented, strain YKTF-3T is considered to represent a novel species of the genus Tenacibaculum , for which the name Tenacibaculum sediminilitoris sp. nov. is proposed. The type strain is YKTF-3T (=KCTC 52210T=NBRC 111991T). %U https://www.microbiologyresearch.org/content/journal/ijsem/10.1099/ijsem.0.001086
