sp. nov., isolated from tidal flat sediment.

A Gram-stain-negative, obligately aerobic, cream-coloured, non-gliding, motile with a single polar flagellum and rod-shaped bacterium, designated IMCC34151, was isolated from tidal flat sediment of the Yellow Sea, Republic of Korea. Phylogenetic analysis based on 16S rRNA gene sequences revealed that strain IMCC34151 belonged to the genus of the family and shared 94.7-96.8 % sequence similarities to species. Whole-genome sequencing of strain IMCC34151 revealed a genome size of 3.2 Mbp and a DNA G+C content of 62.6 mol%. The strain contained summed feature 8 (C 7 and/or C 6), Ccyclo 8 and C as the major fatty acids and ubiquinone-10 (Q-10) as the major respiratory quinone. The polar lipids detected in the strain were phosphatidylglycerol, diphosphatidylglycerol, two unidentified glycolipids and 12 unidentified lipids. On the basis of its phylogenetic and phenotypic characteristics, strain IMCC34151 is considered to represent a novel species of the genus , for which the name sp. nov. (type strain IMCC34151 =KACC 19595=NBRC 113420) is proposed.
