Optimal growth occurred at 37 °C, pH 7.5 and with 2–3 % (w/v) NaCl. MK-7 was the sole respiratory quinone and meso-diaminopimelic acid was a diagnostic diamino acid in the peptidoglycan. The polar lipid profile of this novel isolate consisted of phosphatidylglycerol, phosphatidylethanolamine, an unknown phospholipid, an unknown phosphoaminolipid, two unknown glycolipids and an unknown lipid. The major cellular fatty acids in strain NC2-42T were anteiso-C15 : 0, iso-C16 : 0 and C16 : 0. The G+C content of the genomic DNA of strain NC2-42T was 58.11  mol% (HPLC). Phylogenetic analysis based on 16S rRNA gene sequences revealed that strain NC2-42T showed the highest similarity (92.32 %) to Paenibacillus profundus within the family Paenibacillaceae . Based on data from this taxonomic study using a polyphasic approach, the isolate is proposed to represent a novel species of a new genus within the family Paenibacillaceae, with the name Marinicrinis sediminis gen. nov., sp. nov. The type strain of the type species is NC2-42T (=KCTC 33676T=MCCC 1K01238T)., UL https://www.microbiologyresearch.org/content/journal/ijsem/10.1099/ijsem.0.001257
