Abstract

A Gram-variable, endospore-forming moderately halophilic rod, strain SF-121, was isolated from a marine solar saltern of the Yellow Sea in Korea. The result of 16S rRNA gene sequence analysis showed that strain SF-121 has highest sequence similarity (99·7 %) with the type strain of . Phylogenetic analyses based on 16S rRNA gene sequences revealed that DSM 10037 and strain SF-121 are more closely related to the genus than to the genus . Strain SF-121 and DSM 10037 exhibited 16S rRNA gene similarity levels of 95·3–97·5 % with the type strains of species and 94·0 % with the type strain of . DNA–DNA relatedness and phenotypic data indicated that DSM 10037 and strain SF-121 are members of the same species. DSM 10037 and strain SF-121 exhibited DNA–DNA relatedness values of 9–11 % with the type strains of and . On the basis of the phenotypic, chemotaxonomic, phylogenetic and genetic data, should be reclassified in the genus as comb. nov.
