Marimonas arenosa gen. nov., sp. nov., isolated from sea sand Thongphrom, Chutimon and Kim, Jong-Hwa and Yoon, Jung-Hoon and Bora, Nagamani and Kim, Wonyong,, 67, 121-126 (2017), doi = https://doi.org/10.1099/ijsem.0.001581, publicationName = Microbiology Society, issn = 1466-5026, abstract= A Gram-stain-negative, non-motile, non-spore-forming, aerobic and short rod-shaped bacterial strain, CAU 1311T, was isolated from sea sand in the Republic of Korea. Strain CAU 1311T grew at temperatures from 20–37 °C, in the range of pH 6.5–10.0, and under various NaCl concentrations from 0–6 % (w/v). Phylogenetic analysis based on the 16S rRNA gene sequence of CAU 1311T showed that it formed a distinct lineage within the family Rhodobacteraceae as a separate deep branch, with 96.2 % or lower sequence identity to representatives of the genera Marivita , Aestuariivita , Mameliella , Sulfitobacter and Maritimibacter . The major fatty acid was C18  : 1 ω7c and the predominant respiratory quinone was Q-10. The major polar lipids were phosphatidylcholine, phosphatidylethanolamine, phosphatidylglycerol, an unidentified aminolipid and an unidentified glycolipid. The DNA G+C content was 60.7 mol%. On the basis of genotypic, phenotypic and chemotaxanomic findings, strain CAU 1311T could be classified as representing a novel species of a new genus of the family Rhodobacteraceae , for which the name Marimonas arenosa gen. nov., sp. nov. is proposed. The type strain of the type species is CAU 1311T (=KCTC 52189T=NBRC 111988T)., language=, type=
