The strain formed small light-yellow, smooth, and circular colonies on marine agar. Cells were weakly halophilic, motile rods showing catalase- and oxidase-positive reactions. Growth of strain 101-1T was observed at 15–40 °C (optimum, 30 °C), pH 5.0–8.0 (optimum, pH 6.5–7.0) and 1.0–9.0 % (w/v) NaCl (optimum, 2.0–3.5 %). The G+C content of the genomic DNA was 53.3 mol%. Strain 101-1T contained ubiquinone-10 (Q-10) as the respiratory quinone and iso-C17 : 1ω9c, iso-C15 : 0 and iso-C17 : 0 as major fatty acids. Phylogenetic analyses based on 16S rRNA gene sequences showed that strain 101-1T formed a tight phylogenetic lineage with members of the genus Kordiimonas and was most closely related to Kordiimonas gwangyangensis GW14-5T and Kordiimonas lacus S3-22T with 97.3 % and 96.3 % 16S rRNA gene sequence similarities, respectively. The DNA–DNA relatedness values between strain 101-1T and K. gwangyangensis GW14-5T and K. lacus S3-22T were 24.8±4.4 % and 32.2±3.6 %, respectively. Based on the data from the phenotypic and genotypic studies, strain 101-1T represents a novel species of the genus Kordiimonas , for which the name Kordiimonas aestuarii sp. nov. is proposed. The type strain is 101-1T ( = KACC 16184T = JCM 17742T).", }
