Cells are catalase-negative and oxidase-positive. Neighbour-joining phylogenetic tree based on 16S rRNA gene sequences showed that strain ZO2-23T forms an independent lineage within the genus Kordia . Strain ZO2-23T was related to Kordia ulvae SC2T (98.0 %, 16S rRNA gene sequence similarity) and K. antarctica IMCC3317T (97.9 %). The major fatty acids of strain ZO2-23T were iso-C15 : 0, iso-C17 : 0 3-OH, summed feature 3 and iso-C15 : 0 3-OH. The only isoprenoid quinone of the isolate was menaquinone-6. The DNA G+C content of strain ZO2-23T was 31.7 mol%. Phenotypic characteristics distinguished strain ZO2-23T from the related species of the genus Kordia . On the basis of the evidences presented in this study, novel species, Kordia zosterae sp. nov., is proposed for strain ZO2-23T (=KCTC 52268T=JCM 31799T).", }
