title: Croceitalea litorea sp. nov., isolated from seashore sand.
abstract: Strain CBA3205T is a Gram-stain-negative, non-motile and rod-shaped bacterium that was isolated from the seashore sand of Jeju Island in South Korea. Based on the phylogenetic analysis, the most closed related species was Croceitalea eckloniae DOKDO 025T, with 94.8 % sequence similarity for the 16S rRNA gene. Strain CBA3205T was observed to grow optimally at 25-30 °C and at pH 8.5 in the presence of 2-3 % (w/v) NaCl. The major fatty acids of strain CBA3205T were iso-C15 : 0, iso-C15 : 1 G, and iso-C17 : 0 3-OH. The major respiratory quinone was MK-6 and the major polar lipids were two unidentified amino-group-containing phospholipids and an unidentified polar lipid. The G+C content of the genomic DNA of strain CBA3205T was 62.5 mol%. Based on the phenotypic, genotypic and phylogenetic analyses, strain CBA3205T was considered to be a novel species belonging to the genus Croceitalea within the family Flavobacteriaceae, for which the name Croceitalea litorea sp. nov. is proposed. The type strain is CBA3205T ( = KACC 17669T = JCM 19531T).
