On the basis of phylogenetic analysis of the 16S rRNA gene sequence, strain MOLA117T was placed within the family Flavobacteriaceae , but showed less than 93 % 16S rRNA gene sequence similarity to other recognized species within the family. The most closely related genera included Arenibacter , Cellulophaga , Maribacter and Zobellia . The only isoprenoid quinone was menaquinone MK-6 and the predominant fatty acid was iso-C17 : 0 3-OH, representing over 33 % of the total fatty acids. The DNA G+C content was 36.9 mol%. Strain MOLA117T required NaCl for growth, and did not exhibit gliding motility or produce flexirubin. Based on the phenotypic and phylogenetic data, strain MOLA117T should be considered to represent a novel species of a new genus, for which the name Saonia flava gen. nov., sp. nov. is proposed. The type strain of Saonia flava is MOLA117T (=CIP 110873T=DSM 29762T).", }
