LPB0136T contained a circular chromosome of 3.02 Mb with a DNA G+C content of 30.7 mol%. The genome included 2726 protein-coding genes and three copies of rRNA operons. Phylogenetic analysis of the 16S rRNA gene sequence indicated that this isolate represents a member of the genus Tenacibaculum with an independent genomic species status, showing sequence similarities of 95.9 % to Tenacibaculum aestuarii SMK-4T and Tenacibaculum caenipelagi HJ-26MT. The detected respiratory quinone (MK-6) and major polar lipid (phosphatidylethanolamine) were similar to the chemotaxonomic profile of other species of the genus Tenacibaculum . The major cellular fatty acids profile (iso-C15 : 0, iso-C15 : 0 3-OH and iso-C15 : 0G) was also similar to those of members of genus Tenacibaculum , but the contents and amounts differed from those of closely related neighbours. Many biochemical and physiological characteristics also distinguished the isolate from other species within the genus Tenacibaculum . On the basis of the pholyphasic taxonomic data determined in this study, strain LPB0136T represents a novel species of the genus Tenacibaculum , for which the name Tenacibaculum todarodis sp. nov. is proposed. The type strain is LPB0136T (=KACC 18887T=JCM 31564T). %U https://www.microbiologyresearch.org/content/journal/ijsem/10.1099/ijsem.0.002692
