The 16S rRNA gene sequence analysis showed that this strain was affiliated with the genus Winogradskyella in the family Flavobacteriaceae and presented great similarity with the type strain Winogradskyella litoriviva KMM 6491T (97.9 % sequence similarity). The whole genome of strain HL2-2T comprised 3.6 Mbp with a G+C content of 31.9 mol%. The average nucleotide identity between strain HL2-2T and Winogradskyella litoriviva KMM 6491T was 83.7 %. Growth of the isolated strain was observed from 20–40 °C (optimum, 30 °C), at pH ranged from 5.5 to 8.0 (optimum, pH 6.0) and in the presence of 0–5 % (w/v) NaCl (optimum, 0–2 %). The major fatty acids (>10 % of the total) were C16 : 0, iso-C15 : 0 and the predominant menaquinone was MK-6. The combined phylogenetic, physiological and chemotaxonomic analysis show that the strain HL2-2T represents a novel species belonging to the genus Winogradskyella , for which the name Winogradskyella endarachnes sp. nov. is proposed, and which the type strain is HL2-2T (=CICC 24857T=KCTC 72882T).", }
