title: Reinekea marina sp. nov., isolated from seawater, and emended description of the genus Reinekea.
abstract: A Gram-stain-negative, curved rod-shaped and non-pigmented strain, HME8277T, was isolated from surface seawater of the Yellow Sea in the Republic of Korea. Phylogenetic analysis based on 16S rRNA gene sequences showed that the novel strain was related most closely to Reinekea blandensis MED297T (96.4 % 16S rRNA gene sequence similarity), Reinekea aestuarii IMCC4489T (96.3 %) and Reinekea marinisedimentorum KMM 3655T (95.8 %). The major fatty acids were summed feature 3 (comprising C16 : 1ω7c and/or C16 : 1ω6c; 43.0 %), C16 : 0 (19.0 %) and summed feature 8 (comprising C18 : 1ω7c and/or C18 : 1ω6c; 15.0 %). The DNA G+C content was 46.1 mol%. The predominant respiratory quinone was Q-8. The major polar lipids of strain HME8277T comprised diphosphatidylglycerol, phosphatidylglycerol, phosphatidylethanolamine, four unidentified phospholipids and four unidentified lipids. On the basis of polyphasic analyses, strain HME8277T represents a novel species of the genus Reinekea, for which the name Reinekea marina sp. nov. is proposed. The type strain HME8277T ( = KACC 17315T = CECT 8288T). An emended description of the genus Reinekea is also provided.
