abstract= Abstract The name Mesophilobacter marinus gen. nov., sp. nov. is proposed for 11 strains of aerobic, mesophilic, nonmotile, oxidase-positive, penicillin-resistant, moderately halophilic, gram-negative coccobacilli that were isolated from seawater. The genus Mesophilobacter is closely related to the genera Acinetobacter, Moraxella, and Psychrobacter, but the levels of deoxyribonucleic acid relatedness to members of these genera are low. The mesophilobacters have optimal growth temperatures of 33 to 37°C and can grow in broth containing 7% sodium chloride. The ubiquinone system is Q-8, and the major cellular fatty acids are C16:1, C18:1, and C16:0 acids. The guanine-plus-cytosine contents of the deoxyribonucleic acids are 44.0 to 46.9 mol%. The type strain of this species is strain 14S-4 (= IAM 13185).,
