Abstract

A novel heterotrophic, marine, strictly aerobic, motile bacterium was isolated from the Red Sea at a depth of 1 m. Analysis of its 16S rRNA gene sequence, retrieved from the whole-genome sequence, showed that this bacterium was most closely related to the genera , and , each of which contains a single species, within the class . Phenotypic, genotypic and phylogenetic analyses supported the creation of a novel genus and species to accommodate this bacterium, for which the name gen. nov., sp. nov. is proposed. The type strain of is RED65 (=CECT 7074 =CCUG 52064).
