Maribacter chungangensis sp. nov., isolated from a green seaweed, and emended descriptions of the genus Maribacter and Maribacter arcticus Weerawongwiwat, Veeraya and Kang, Hyeonji and Jung, Min Young and Kim, Wonyong,, 63, 2553-2558 (2013), doi = https://doi.org/10.1099/ijs.0.039628-0, publicationName = Microbiology Society, issn = 1466-5026, abstract= A Gram-stain-negative, non-spore-forming, strictly aerobic, orange-pigmented bacterial strain, motile by gliding, designated CAU 1044T, was isolated from a green seaweed and its taxonomic position was investigated using a polyphasic approach. Phylogenetic analysis based on 16S rRNA gene sequences revealed that strain CAU 1044T formed a distinct lineage within the genus Maribacter and was most closely related to Maribacter antarcticus JCM 15445T and Maribacter arcticus KOPRI 20941T (96.3 and 95.7 % similarity, respectively). Strain CAU 1044T contained menaquinone 6 as the only isoprenoid quinone and iso-C15 : 0, summed feature 3 (comprising C16 : 1ω7c and/or C16 : 1ω6c and/or iso-C15 : 0 2-OH), iso-C17 : 0 3-OH and iso-C15 : 1 G as the major fatty acids. The cell wall peptidoglycan of strain CAU 1044T contained meso-diaminopimelic acid and the major whole-cell sugars were glucose and ribose. The polar lipids were composed of phosphatidylethanolamine, one unidentified phospholipid, six unidentified aminolipids and four unidentified lipids. The DNA G+C content was 40.2 mol%. On the basis of phenotypic data and phylogenetic inference, strain CAU 1044T should be classified as a representative of a novel species in the genus Maribacter for which the name Maribacter chungangensis sp. nov. is proposed. The type strain is CAU 1044T ( = KCTC 23735T  = CCUG 61948T). Emended descriptions of the genus Maribacter and the species M. arcticus KCTC 22053T are also proposed., language=, type=
