sp. nov., isolated from .

A Gram-stain-negative, rod-shaped, motile via polar flagellum, facultatively aerobic, light-yellow, bacterium (designated 188UL20-2) was isolated from a mussel sample of collected on Ulleung Island, Ulleung-gun, Gyeongsangbuk-do, Republic of Korea. On the basis of 16S rRNA gene sequencing results, strain 188UL20-2 clustered with species of the genus and appeared closely related to DSM 23086 (96.59%), DSM 26147 (96.57%), DSM 14398 (96.37%) and DSM 17657 (95.97%). The average nucleotide identity and digital DNA-DNA hybridization values between strain 188UL20-2 and its closest related strain were 71.3 and 16.4%, indicating that 188UL20-2 represents a novel species of the genus . Growth occurred at 18-37 °C on MA medium in the presence of 1-4% NaCl (w/v) and at pH 5.0-10.0. The DNA G+C content of the genomic DNA was 45.4 mol%, and ubiquinone-8 (Q-8) was the major respiratory quinone. The major cellular fatty acids (>5%) were C 6 and/or C 7 (summed feature 3), C 7 and/or C 6 (summed feature 8), C, C iso, C, C iso and C. The polar lipids consisted of phosphatidylglycerol, phosphatidylethanolamine, two unidentified phospholipids, unidentified aminophospholipid, unidentified glycolipid and seven unidentified lipids. Physiological and biochemical characteristics indicated that strain 188UL20-2 represents a novel species of the genus , for which the name sp. nov. is proposed. The type strain is 188UL20-2 (=KACC 22258=LMG 32202).
