The strain was strictly aerobic and catalase- and oxidase-positive. Strain SW112T grew at 4–42 °C (optimum 30 °C), at pH 5.5–9.5 (optimum pH 7.5) and in the presence of 0–9.0 % (w/v) NaCl (optimum 2.0–3.0 %). The predominant cellular fatty acids were iso-C15 : 0 (29.7 %), iso-C17 : 03-OH (14.3 %) and summed feature 3 (comprising C16 : 1ω7c and/or C16 : 1ω6c, 15.1 %). The major menaquinone was menaquinone-7 and the major polar lipid was phosphatidylethanolamine. The genomic DNA G+C content of strain SW112T was 39 mol%. Phylogenetic analyses based on 16S rRNA gene sequences revealed that strain SW112T was related to members of the genus Belliella, showing the highest similarity with Belliella aquatica TS-T86Tand Belliella baltica DSM 15883T (96.5 % and 96.4 % sequence similarity, respectively). On the basis of phylogenetic inference and phenotypic characteristics, it is proposed that strain SW112T represents a novel species of the genus Belliella, for which the name Belliella marina sp. nov. is proposed. The type strain is SW112T ( = CGMCC 1.15180T = KCTC 33694T)., language=, type=
