Strain YSS-7T grew optimally at 25 °C, at pH 7.0–8.0 and in the presence of 2.0 % (w/v) NaCl. Phylogenetic trees based on 16S rRNA gene sequences revealed that strain YSS-7T clustered with the type strains of Pelagicola litoralis , Planktotalea frisia , Pacificibacter maritimus and Roseovarius marinus . Strain YSS-7T exhibited the highest 16S rRNA gene sequence similarity (97.7 %) to the type strain of Pelagicola litoralis and sequence similarity of more than 96.0 % to the type strains of some other species. Strain YSS-7T contained Q-10 as the predominant ubiquinone and C18 : 1ω7c and 11-methyl C18 : 1ω7c as the major fatty acids. The major polar lipids of strain YSS-7T were phosphatidylcholine, phosphatidylglycerol, an unidentified aminolipid and an unidentified lipid. The fatty acid and polar lipid profiles of strain YSS-7T were different from those of the type strains of phylogenetically related species. The DNA G+C content of strain YSS-7T was 55.5 mol%. Other phenotypic properties demonstrated that strain YSS-7T is distinguished from phylogenetically related species. On the basis of the data presented, strain YSS-7T is considered to represent a novel genus and species, for which the name Pseudopelagicola gijangensis gen. nov., sp. nov. is proposed. The type strain of Pseudopelagicola gijangensis is YSS-7T ( = KCTC 42049T = CECT 8540T).", }
