Phylogenetic analysis based on 16SrRNA gene sequence indicated that strain ALS 81T forms a lineage within the family   Alteromonadaceae   that is distinct from the most closely related genera   Agarivorans  (93.9–94.4 % 16S rRNA gene sequence similarity),   Celerinatantimonas   (92.0 %) and   Aliagarivorans   (91.6 %). Optimum growth occurred in the presence of 3–4 % (w/v) NaCl, at pH 8.0 and at 28 °C. The major fatty acids (>10 % of total fatty acids) were iso-C16 : 0 (27.3 %), anteiso-C15 : 0 (27.0 %) and anteiso-C17 : 0 (11.2 %). The predominant polar lipids were phosphatidylethanolamine, glycolipid and four unidentified polar lipids. The DNA G+C content of strain ALS 81T calculated on the basis of the genome sequence is 43.5 mol% and the genome size is 4.5 Mbp. The predominant isoprenoid quinone is ubiquinone 8. On the basis of polyphasic analysis, strain ALS 81T is considered to represent a novel species in a novel genus of the family   Alteromonadaceae  , for which the name Alginatibacterium sediminis gen. nov., sp. nov. is proposed. The type strain of the type species is ALS 81T (=KCTC 62397T=MCCC 1K03481T).", }
