Phylogenetic analyses based on 16S rRNA gene sequences showed that strain P38T formed a distinct evolutionary lineage within the family Hyphomonadaceae. Strain P38T was most closely related to members of the genera Hyphomonas (92.3–93.5 % 16S rRNA gene sequence similarity), Hirschia (88.8 %), Maricaulis (88.3–88.6 %), Hellea (87.5 %), Oceanicaulis (87.4 %) and Robiginitomaculum (86.7 %) of the family Hyphomonadaceae. The DNA G+C content of strain P38T was 61.0 mol% and the predominant cellular fatty acids were C16 : 0 (20 %), C17 : 0 (5.7 %), C18 : 1 ω7c (37.7 %), C18 : 0 (6.3 %) and C18 : 1 ω7c 11-methyl (7.1 %). Strain P38T was distinguishable from members of phylogenetically related genera by differences in several phenotypic properties. On the basis of the phenotypic and phylogenetic data, strain P38T represents a novel species of a new genus, for which the name Maribaculum marinum gen. nov., sp. nov. is proposed. The type strain of Maribaculum marinum is P38T (=CCTCC AB 208227T=LMG 24711T=MCCC 1A01086T). %U https://www.microbiologyresearch.org/content/journal/ijsem/10.1099/ijs.0.008177-0
