An aerobic, gliding and yellow-pigmented bacterium, designated strain SFD31T, was isolated from brown alga collected from the South Sea, Republic of Korea. Cells were Gram-stain-negative, and catalase- and oxidase-positive. The neighbour-joining phylogenetic tree based on 16S rRNA gene sequences showed that strain SFD31T forms an independent lineage within the genus Winogradskyella . Strain SFD31T was related distantly to Winogradskyella echinorum KMM 6211T (97.9 %, 16S rRNA gene sequence similarity), Winogradskyella litoriviva KMM 6491T (97.4 %), Winogradskyella pulchriflava EM106T (97.2 %) and Winogradskyella eckloniae EC29T (96.9 %). The major fatty acids of strain SFD31T were iso-C15 : 0, iso-C15 : 1 G, summed feature 3 (C16 : 1ω7c and/or C16 : 1ω6c) and unknown 13.565. The only isoprenoid quinone of the isolate was menaquinone 6. The major polar lipids were phosphatidylethanolamine, four unidentified aminolipids and two unidentified lipids. The DNA G+C content of strain SFD31T was 36.0 mol%. Phenotypic characteristics distinguished strain SFD31T from the related species of the genus Winogradskyella . On the basis of the evidence presented in this study, a novel species, Winogradskyella flava sp. nov., is proposed for strain SFD31T (=KCTC 52348T=JCM 31798T).
