Results from a 16S rRNA gene sequence analysis indicated that the isolate belonged to the family Flavobacteriaceae; the highest level of nucleotide sequence similarity (91.9 %) occurred with Polaribacter dokdonensis DSW-5T. The predominant cellular fatty acids were iso-C15 : 0 (19.8 %), iso-C15 : 1 G (14.0 %), iso-C17 : 0 3-OH (13.7 %) and iso-C13 : 0 (6.4 %). Flexirubin-type pigments were absent. The major isoprenoid quinone was MK-6. The DNA G+C content was 43–45 mol%. Data from a polyphasic taxonomy study suggested that the isolate represents a novel genus and species in the family Flavobacteriaceae, for which the name Actibacter sediminis gen. nov., sp. nov. is proposed. The type strain of Actibacter sediminis is JC2129T (=KCTC 12704T =JCM 14002T).", }
