A Gram-stain-negative, aerobic, non-motile and coccoid, ovoid or rod-shaped bacterial strain, designated GYSW-23T, was isolated from seawater off Geoje island in the South Sea, South Korea. Strain GYSW-23T grew optimally at 25 °C, at pH 7.0–8.0 and in the presence of approximately 2.0–3.0   % (w/v) NaCl. Phylogenetic trees based on 16S rRNA gene sequences revealed that strain GYSW-23T forms a distinct evolutionary lineage independent of other taxa of the family Rhodobacteraceae. It exhibited 16S rRNA gene sequence similarity values of 94.0, 93.5, 93.4 and 93.4 % to the type strains of Roseovarius aestuarii, Ruegeria marina, Roseovarius pacificus and Oceanicola litoreus, respectively, and 93.6 % to ‘Actibacterium atlanticum’ 22II-S11-z10. Strain GYSW-23T contained Q-10 as the predominant ubiquinone and C18  :  1ω7c as the major fatty acid. The major polar lipids of strain GYSW-23T were phosphatidylcholine, phosphatidylglycerol and one unidentified aminolipid. The fatty acid and polar lipid profiles of strain GYSW-23T were distinguishable from those of the phylogenetically related taxa. The DNA G+C content of strain GYSW-23T was 60.6 mol%. On the basis of the phylogenetic, chemotaxonomic and other phenotypic properties, strain GYSW-23T is considered to represent a novel species of a new genus in the family Rhodobacteraceae, for which the name Pontivivens insulae gen. nov., sp. nov. is proposed. The type strain of Pontivivens insulae is GYSW-23T ( = KCTC 42458T = CECT 8812T).

A Gram-stain-negative, non-motile, aerobic and ovoid or rod-shaped bacterium, designated MA4-5T, was isolated from ark shell (Scapharca broughtonii) collected from the South Sea, South Korea. The novel strain grew optimally at 25 °C, at pH 7.0–8.0 and in the presence of 2.0 % (w/v) NaCl. Neighbour-joining and maximum-likelihood phylogenetic trees based on 16S rRNA gene sequences showed that strain MA4-5T forms a coherent cluster with the type strains of Roseovarius albus, Roseovarius aestuarii and Roseovarius nubinhibens, sharing 97.0–99.2 % sequence similarity. It exhibited 16S rRNA gene sequence similarity of 93.1–96.1 % to the type strains of other Roseovarius species. Strain MA4-5T contained Q-10 as the predominant ubiquinone and C18 : 1ω7c as the major fatty acid. The major polar lipids of strain MA4-5T were phosphatidylcholine, phosphatidylglycerol, one unidentified aminolipid and one unidentified lipid. The DNA G+C content of strain MA4-5T was 53.8 mol% and its mean DNA–DNA relatedness values with the type strains of R. albus, R. aestuarii and R. nubinhibens were 11–26 %. Differential phenotypic properties, together with phylogenetic and genetic distinctiveness, indicated that strain MA4-5T is separate from recognized species of the genus Roseovarius. On the basis of the data presented, strain MA4-5T is considered to represent a novel species of the genus Roseovarius, for which the name Roseovarius scapharcae sp. nov. is proposed. The type strain is MA4-5T ( = KCTC 42703T = NBRC 111226T).

A Gram-negative, non-motile, rod-shaped bacterial strain, SW-255T, was isolated from seawater from Hwajinpo, on the coast of the East Sea, Korea, and subjected to a polyphasic taxonomic study. Strain SW-255T grew optimally at pH 7.0–8.0 and 37 °C in the presence of 2 % (w/v) NaCl. It contained Q-10 as the predominant ubiquinone and C18 : 1 ω7c as the major fatty acid. The DNA G+C content was 67.0 mol%. A neighbour-joining phylogenetic tree based on 16S rRNA gene sequences showed that strain SW-255T is phylogenetically closely related to the genera Ruegeria and Silicibacter of the Alphaproteobacteria. The levels of 16S rRNA gene sequence similarity between strain SW-255T and the type strains of Ruegeria atlantica and two Silicibacter species were in the range 95.8–96.2 %. A phylogenetic tree based on gyrB sequences showed that strain SW-255T forms a distinct evolutionary lineage within the Alphaproteobacteria. Differential phenotypic properties, polar lipid profiles and DNA G+C contents, together with the phylogenetic distinctiveness, suggest that strain SW-255T should be distinguished from the members of the genera Ruegeria and Silicibacter. On the basis of the phenotypic, chemotaxonomic and phylogenetic data, strain SW-255T represents a novel genus and species, for which the name Pseudoruegeria aquimaris gen. nov., sp. nov. is proposed. The type strain of Pseudoruegeria aquimaris is SW-255T (=KCTC 12737T=JCM 13603T).

A Gram-negative, non-spore-forming, yellow-pigmented, slightly halophilic bacterial strain, SW-109T, was isolated from a tidal flat of the Yellow Sea in Korea, and subjected to a polyphasic taxonomic study. This isolate did not produce bacteriochlorophyll a and contained ubiquinone-10 as the predominant respiratory lipoquinone and C18 : 1 ω7c as the major fatty acid. The DNA G+C content was 60·3 mol%. Phylogenetic analyses based on 16S rRNA gene sequences showed that strain SW-109T is phylogenetically affiliated to the genus Erythrobacter of the family Sphingomonadaceae. Strain SW-109T exhibited levels of 16S rRNA gene sequence similarity to the type strains of Erythrobacter species of 94·0–96·3 %, making it possible to categorize strain SW-109T as a species that is separate from previously recognized Erythrobacter species. On the basis of its phenotypic properties and phylogenetic distinctiveness, SW-109T (=KCTC 12311T=JCM 12599T) was classified as the type strain of a novel Erythrobacter species, for which the name Erythrobacter luteolus sp. nov. is proposed.

ABSTRACT A Gram-stain-negative bacterial strain, JBTF-M27T, was isolated from a tidal flat from Yellow Sea, Republic of Korea. Neighbor-joining phylogenetic tree of 16S rRNA gene sequences showed that strain JBTF-M27T fell within the clade comprising the type strains of Sulfitobacter species. Strain JBTF-M27T exhibited the highest 16S rRNA gene sequence similarity (98.8%) to the type strain of S. porphyrae. Genomic ANI and dDDH values of strain JBTF-M27T between the type strains of Sulfitobacter species were less than 76.1 and 19.2%, respectively. Mean DNA-DNA relatedness value between strain JBTF-M27T and the type strain of S. porphyrae was 21%. DNA G + C content of strain JBTF-M27T from genome sequence was 57.8% (genomic analysis). Strain JBTF-M27T contained Q-10 as the predominant ubiquinone and C18:1ω7c as the major fatty acid. The major polar lipids of strain JBTF-M27T were phosphatidylcholine, phosphatidylglycerol and one unidentified aminolipid. Distinguished phenotypic properties, along with the phylogenetic and genetic distinctiveness, revealed that strain JBTF-M27T is separated from recognized Sulfitobacter species. On the basis of the data presented, strain JBTF-M27T ( = KACC 21648T = NBRC 114356T) is considered to represent a novel species of the genus Sulfitobacter, for which the name Sulfitobacter sediminilitoris sp. nov. is proposed.

A novel Tenacibaculum-like bacterial strain, SMK-4T, was isolated from a tidal flat sediment in Korea. Strain SMK-4T was Gram-negative, pale yellow-pigmented and rod-shaped. It grew optimally at 30–37 °C and in the presence of 2–3 % (w/v) NaCl. It contained MK-6 as the predominant menaquinone and iso-C15 : 0, iso-C16 : 0 3-OH and C16 : 1 ω7c and/or iso-C15 : 0 2-OH as the major fatty acids (>10 % of total fatty acids). The DNA G+C content was 33.6 mol%. Phylogenetic trees based on 16S rRNA gene sequences showed that strain SMK-4T fell within the evolutionary radiation encompassed by the genus Tenacibaculum. Strain SMK-4T exhibited 16S rRNA gene sequence similarity levels of 95.2–98.6 % with respect to the type strains of recognized Tenacibaculum species. DNA–DNA relatedness levels and differential phenotypic properties made it possible to categorize strain SMK-4T as a species that is separate from previously described Tenacibaculum species. On the basis of phenotypic properties and phylogenetic and genetic distinctiveness, strain SMK-4T (=KCTC 12569T=JCM 13491T) should be classified as a novel Tenacibaculum species, for which the name Tenacibaculum aestuarii sp. nov. is proposed.
