Cells of strain GBPy7T were motile. Growth occurred on media with 1–15 % (w/v) NaCl (optimum 3 %), at pH 7–10 (optimum pH 8.5) and at 4–45 °C (optimum 37 °C). Phylogenetic analysis based on 16S rRNA gene sequence comparison indicated that strain GBPy7T belonged to the family Idiomarinaceae. Its closest relatives were Aliidiomarina shirensis AIST (98.1 % 16S rRNA gene sequence similarity) and other Aliidiomarina species (95.9–94.2 %), together with Idiomarina seosinensis CL-SP19T (94.3 %) and Idiomarina fontislapidosi F23T (94.3 %). The major cellular fatty acids of the isolate were iso-C15 : 0, iso-C17 : 0, iso-C17 : 1ω9c and C18 : 1ω7c and its polar lipid profile comprised phosphatidylglycerol, diphosphatidylglycerol, phosphatidylethanolamine, one unknown phospholipid and one unknown aminophospholipid. Cells of strain GBPy7T contained ubiquinone Q-8. The G+C content of the genomic DNA of this strain was 51.6 mol%. The level of DNA–DNA relatedness between strain GBPy7T and A. shirensis IBRC-M 10414T was 21 %. The physiological, biochemical, genotypic and phylogenetic differences between strain GBPy7T and other previously described taxa indicate that the strain represents a novel species of the genus Aliidiomarina within the family Idiomarinaceae, for which the name Aliidiomarina iranensis sp. nov. is proposed. The type strain is GBPy7T ( = IBRC-M 10763T = CECT 8339T).", }
