Cells of strain L54-1-50T were Gram-stain-negative, rod-shaped, oxidase-positive and catalase-positive. Growth was observed at salinities from 0 to 9 % (optimum 2 %, w/v), at pH 6.0–10.0 (optimum 8.0–9.0) and at temperatures from 10 to 45 °C (optimum 25–37 °C), but not at 4 or 50 °C. The 16S rRNA gene sequence analysis indicated that strain L54-1-50T was a member of the genus Oceanibaculum , related to Oceanibaculum indicum P24T (98.8 %) and Oceanibaculum pacificum MC2UP-L3T (97.7 %). The digital DNA–DNA hybridization values between strain L54-1-50T and the two type strains O. indicum P24T and O. pacificum MC2UP-L3T were 35.4±2.5 and 23.7±2.5 %, respectively. The average nucleotide identity values between strain L54-1-50T and two type strains were 79.7 and 88.3 %, respectively. The major cellular fatty acids were summed feature 8 (C18 : 1ω7c and/or C18 : 1ω6c), C16 : 0 and C18 : 1 2-OH. The respiratory quinone was Q-10. The polar lipids comprised diphosphatidylglycerol, phosphatidylethanolamine, phosphatidylmonomethylethanolamine, phosphatidylglycerol, two unidentified phospholipids and three unidentified lipids. The G+C content of the chromosomal DNA was 65.1 mol%. The combined genotypic and phenotypic data showed that strain L54-1-50T represents a novel species of the genus Oceanibaculum , for which the name Oceanibaculum nanhaiense sp. nov. is proposed, with the type strain L54-1-50T (=KCTC 52312T=MCCC 1A05150T)., language=, type=
