A Gram-negative, motile, yellow-pigmented, slightly halophilic bacterial strain, SW-151T, was isolated from sea water of the Yellow Sea in Korea, and subjected to a polyphasic taxonomic study. The isolate grew optimally at 30 °C and in the presence of 2–3 % NaCl. Strain SW-151T was characterized chemotaxonomically as having Q-10 as the predominant respiratory lipoquinone and C18 : 1 ω7c, C16 : 1 ω7c and/or iso-C15 : 0 2-OH and C17 : 1 ω6c as the major fatty acids. Sphingoglycolipid, diphosphatidylglycerol, phosphatidylglycerol and phosphatidylethanolamine were the major polar lipids. The DNA G+C content was 58 mol%. 16S rRNA gene sequence analysis showed that strain SW-151T joins the evolutionary radiation enclosed by the genus Sphingopyxis. Similarities between the 16S rRNA gene sequences of strain SW-151T and the type strains of Sphingopyxis species ranged from 92·3 to 94·3 %, which is low enough to categorize strain SW-151T as a species distinct from previously described Sphingopyxis species. On the basis of phenotypic properties and phylogenetic distinctiveness, strain SW-151T (=KCTC 12232T=DSM 16223T) should be classified as a novel Sphingopyxis species, for which the name Sphingopyxis flavimaris sp. nov. is proposed.

A Gram-negative, non-motile, rod-shaped, Microbulbifer-like bacterial strain, ISL-39T, was isolated from a marine solar saltern of the Yellow Sea in Korea and was subjected to a polyphasic taxonomic investigation. Strain ISL-39T grew optimally at pH 7.0–8.0 and 37 °C. It contained Q-8 as the predominant ubiquinone and iso-C15 : 0, C16 : 0 and iso-C17 : 0 as the major fatty acids. The DNA G+C content was 57.7 mol%. A phylogenetic analysis based on 16S rRNA gene sequences showed that strain ISL-39T belonged to the genus Microbulbifer. Strain ISL-39T exhibited 16S rRNA gene sequence similarity values of 94.7–97.5 % with respect to the type strains of four recognized Microbulbifer species. DNA–DNA relatedness data and the differential phenotypic properties and phylogenetic distinctiveness of ISL-39T make this strain distinguishable from the recognized Microbulbifer species. On the basis of the phenotypic, phylogenetic and genetic data, strain ISL-39T represents a novel species of the genus Microbulbifer, for which the name Microbulbifer celer sp. nov. is proposed. The type strain is ISL-39T (=KCTC 12973T=CCUG 54356T).

A Gram-negative, motile, slightly halophilic bacterial strain, SW-150T, was isolated from sea water of the Yellow Sea, Korea, and was characterized by a polyphasic taxonomic approach. Strain SW-150T grew optimally at 25–30 °C and in the presence of 2 % (w/v) NaCl. The isolate could be distinguished from other Sphingopyxis species in producing an orange pigment. It contained ubiquinone-10 as the predominant respiratory lipoquinone and C18 : 1 ω7c and C17 : 1 ω6c as the major fatty acids. No 3-hydroxy fatty acids were detected. Major polar lipids were sphingoglycolipid, diphosphatidylglycerol, phosphatidylglycerol and phosphatidylethanolamine. The DNA G+C content was 63 mol%. Comparative 16S rRNA gene sequence analyses showed that strain SW-150T was phylogenetically affiliated to the genus Sphingopyxis of the family Sphingomonadaceae. Similarity values between the 16S rRNA gene sequences of strain SW-150T and the type strains of Sphingopyxis species ranged from 91·6 to 94·2 %, making it possible to categorize strain SW-150T as a species that is separate from previously described Sphingopyxis species. On the basis of phenotypic properties and phylogenetic distinctiveness, SW-150T (=KCTC 12231T=DSM 16222T) should be classified as the type strain of a novel Sphingopyxis species, for which the name Sphingopyxis baekryungensis sp. nov. is proposed.

Two Gram-negative, motile, non-spore-forming and slightly halophilic rods (strains SW-145T and SW-156T) were isolated from sea water of the Yellow Sea in Korea. Strains SW-145T and SW-156T grew optimally at 37 and 30–37 °C, respectively, and in the presence of 2–6 % (w/v) NaCl. Strains SW-145T and SW-156T were chemotaxonomically characterized as having ubiquinone-9 as the predominant respiratory lipoquinone and C16 : 0, C18 : 1 ω9c, C16 : 1 ω9c and C12 : 0 3-OH as the major fatty acids. The DNA G+C contents of strains SW-145T and SW-156T were 58 and 57 mol%, respectively. Phylogenetic analyses based on 16S rRNA gene sequences showed that strains SW-145T and SW-156T fell within the evolutionary radiation enclosed by the genus Marinobacter. The 16S rRNA gene sequences of strains SW-145T and SW-156T were 94·8 % similar. Strains SW-145T and SW-156T exhibited 16S rRNA gene sequence similarity levels of 94·3–98·1 and 95·4–97·7 %, respectively, with respect to the type strains of all Marinobacter species. Levels of DNA–DNA relatedness, together with 16S rRNA gene sequence similarity values, indicated that strains SW-145T and SW-156T are members of two species that are distinct from seven Marinobacter species with validly published names. On the basis of phenotypic properties and phylogenetic and genotypic distinctiveness, strains SW-145T (=KCTC 12185T=DSM 16070T) and SW-156T (=KCTC 12184T=DSM 16072T) should be placed in the genus Marinobacter as the type strains of two distinct novel species, for which the names Marinobacter flavimaris sp. nov. and Marinobacter daepoensis sp. nov. are proposed.

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.

A Gram-strain-negative, coccoid or oval-shaped, non-motile bacterial strain, designated MDM-1T, was isolated from a tidal-flat sediment on the Korean peninsula. Strain MDM-1T was found to grow optimally at pH 7.0–8.0, at 30 °C and in the presence of 2–3 % (w/v) NaCl. A neighbour-joining phylogenetic tree based on 16S rRNA gene sequences showed that strain MDM-1T falls within the clade comprising species of the genus Algoriphagus, clustering with the type strains of Algoriphagus halophilus, A. lutimaris, A. chungangensis and A. machipongonensis, with which it exhibited 97.2–98.5 % 16S rRNA gene sequence similarity. Sequence similarities to the type strains of the other recognized species of the genus Algoriphagus were 92.8–97.6 %. Strain MDM-1T was found to contain MK-7 as the predominant menaquinone and iso-C15 : 0 and summed feature 3 (C16 : 1ω6c and/or C16 : 1ω7c) as the major fatty acids. The major polar lipids were identified as phosphatidylcholine, phosphatidylethanolamine and two unidentified lipids. The DNA G+C content of strain MDM-1T was determined to be 42.7 mol% and the mean DNA–DNA relatedness with A. halophilus KCTC 12051T, A. lutimaris S1-3T, A. chungangensis KCTC 23759T, A. machipongonensis DSM 24695T and A. ratkowskyi CIP 107452T was 19.7–5.2 %. Differential phenotypic properties, together with the phylogenetic and genetic distinctiveness, revealed that strain MDM-1T is distinguishable from recognized species of the genus Algoriphagus. On the basis of the data presented, strain MDM-1T is proposed to represent a novel species of the genus Algoriphagus, for which the name Algoriphagus aestuarii sp. nov. is proposed. The type strain is MDM-1T ( = KCTC 42199T = NBRC 110552T).

A Gram-negative, motile, pale-yellow-pigmented, oval-shaped bacterial strain, DF-42T, was isolated from a tidal flat sediment in Korea. Strain DF-42T grew optimally at 25–30 °C and in the presence of 2–3 % (w/v) NaCl. It contained Q-8 as the predominant ubiquinone and C16 : 0, C18 : 1 ω7c and summed feature 3 (C16 : 1 ω7c and/or iso-C15 : 0 2-OH) as the major fatty acids. The DNA G+C content was 48.3 mol%. Phylogenetic trees based on 16S rRNA gene sequences showed that strain DF-42T falls within the evolutionary radiation enclosed by the genus Photobacterium. Strain DF-42T exhibited 16S rRNA gene sequence similarity values of 93.8–97.9 % to the type strains of Photobacterium species with validly published names. DNA–DNA relatedness data and differential phenotypic properties made it possible to categorize strain DF-42T as representing a species that is separate from previously described Photobacterium species. The name Photobacterium lutimaris sp. nov. is proposed, with strain DF-42T (=KCTC 12723T=JCM 13586T) as the type strain.

A Gram-negative, non-pigmented, non-motile, chemoheterotrophic marine bacterium, designated strain IMCC2782T, was isolated from a surface seawater sample of the Yellow Sea, Korea. On the basis of 16S rRNA gene sequence analysis and phenotypic and genotypic characterization, strain IMCC2782T is shown to represent a novel species of the genus Litoricola. Strain IMCC2782T grew at 15–37 °C and tolerated 7.5 % NaCl. Based on 16S rRNA gene sequences, strain IMCC2782T was related most closely to the type strain of Litoricola lipolytica (97.1 % similarity) but showed less than 90 % similarity to the type strains of other bacterial species. The predominant fatty acids were mono-unsaturated C18 : 1 and C16 : 1. The G+C content of the DNA of strain IMCC2782T was 59.6 mol%. A low level of DNA–DNA relatedness (28.1 %) together with several phenotypic characteristics, including enzyme activities, served to differentiate strain IMCC2782T from the type strain of L. lipolytica. Therefore, strain IMCC2782T is considered to represent a novel species of the genus Litoricola, for which the name Litoricola marina sp. nov. is proposed. The type strain is IMCC2782T (=KCTC 22683T =NBRC 105824T).

A Gram-negative, motile and pleomorphic bacterial strain, SMK-146T, was isolated from a tidal flat sediment of the Yellow Sea, Korea, and its taxonomic position was investigated. Strain SMK-146T grew optimally at pH 7.0–8.0 and 30 °C. It contained Q-10 as the predominant ubiquinone and C18 : 1 ω7c and 11-methyl C18 : 1 ω7c as the major fatty acids. The major polar lipids were phosphatidylcholine, phosphatidylglycerol and phosphatidylethanolamine. The DNA G+C content was 68.4 mol%. Phylogenetic analysis based on 16S rRNA gene sequences showed that strain SMK-146T belongs to the genus Jannaschia. Strain SMK-146T exhibited 16S rRNA gene sequence similarity values of 95.3–97.0 % to the type strains of the five recognized Jannaschia species. The mean DNA–DNA relatedness value between strain SMK-146T and Jannaschia seosinensis KCCM 42114T, the closest phylogenetic neighbour, was 17 %. Differential phenotypic properties also revealed that strain SMK-146T differs from the recognized Jannaschia species. On the basis of phenotypic, phylogenetic and genetic data, strain SMK-146T represents a novel species of the genus Jannaschia, for which the name Jannaschia seohaensis sp. nov. is proposed. The type strain is SMK-146T (=KCTC 22172T =CCUG 55326T).

A Gram-variable, motile and rod-shaped bacterial strain, ASL-1T, was isolated from a marine saltern located on the coast of the Yellow Sea, Korea. A neighbour-joining phylogenetic tree based on 16S rRNA gene sequences showed that strain ASL-1T clustered with Jeotgalibacillus alimentarius YKJ-13T and that this cluster joined the clade comprising the type strains of two Marinibacillus species. Strain ASL-1T exhibited 16S rRNA gene sequence similarity values of 97.3 % to J. alimentarius YKJ-13T and 96.5 % to the type strains of Marinibacillus marinus and Marinibacillus campisalis. The chemotaxonomic properties of strain ASL-1T were similar to those of one or two of the genera Jeotgalibacillus and Marinibacillus. The peptidoglycan type was A1α linked directly through l-lysine as the diamino acid. Strain ASL-1T contained MK-7 as the predominant menaquinone with the presence of a significant amount of MK-8. The predominant fatty acid was anteiso-C15 : 0. The DNA G+C content was 42.9 mol%. Differential phenotypic properties, together with the phylogenetic and genetic distinctiveness, revealed that strain ASL-1T could be differentiated from J. alimentarius and the two Marinibacillus species. On the basis of the data presented, strain ASL-1T represents a novel species within the genus Jeotgalibacillus, for which the name Jeotgalibacillus salarius sp. nov. is proposed. The type strain is ASL-1T (=KCTC 13257T=CCUG 56751T). It is also proposed that Marinibacillus marinus and Marinibacillus campisalis be reclassified as Jeotgalibacillus marinus comb. nov. (type strain 581T=DSM 1297T=ATCC 29841T=CCUG 28884T=CIP 103308T=LMG 6930T) and Jeotgalibacillus campisalis comb. nov. (type strain SF-57T=KCCM 41644T=JCM 11810T), respectively.
