A novel Gram-stain-negative, rod-shaped, ivory-white, facultatively anaerobic and catalase-positive bacterium, designated H1304T, was isolated from the gut of sea catfish from Coast of Weihai, China. Optimal growth occurred at 30–33 °C (range, 4–37 °C) and pH 7.0–7.5 (range, pH 6.5–9.0) with 2.0–3.0 % (w/v) NaCl (range, 0.5–4.0 %). Phylogenetic analysis based on 16S rRNA gene sequences showed that H1304T belonged to the genus Cohaesibacter and was most closely related to Cohaesibactermarisflavi CGMCC 1.9157T (96.7 % 16S rRNA gene sequence similarity), Cohaesibactergelatinilyticus MCCC 1A02698T (96.3 %) and Cohaesibacterhaloalkalitolerans KCTC 32038T (96.0 %). The sole isoprenoid quinone was Q-10, the polar lipid profile consisted of phosphatidylglycerol, diphosphatidylglycerol, phosphatidylethanolamine, phosphatidylmonomethylethanolamine, phosphatidylcholine, glycolipid, an unidentified phospholipid and an unidentified aminolipid. The major fatty acids (>10 %) were C18 : 1ω7c and summed feature 3 (C16 : 1ω7c/C16 : 1ω6c). The DNA G+C content of strain H1304T is 50.8 mol%. Based on the combination of phylogenetic analysis, phenotypic data and chemotaxonomic data, strain H1304T is considered to represent a novel species within the genus Cohaesibacter in the family Cohaesibacteraceae, for which the name Cohaesibacter celericrescens sp. nov. is proposed. The type strain of the new species is H1304T (=KCTC 62075T=MCCC 1H00241T).
