The bacterial cells were Gram-stain-negative, stick-shaped and non-flagellated. They were facultative anaerobic bacteria and could reduce Fe(III) to Fe(II). The 16S rRNA genes of two strains shared 99.7 % sequence similarity, and had the highest similarity of 97.3–97.5 % with Paraferrimonas sedimenticola NBRC 101628T, and of <94.0 % with other species. Phylogenetic relationship showed that the two strains formed a tight clade with an isolate Paraferrimonas sp. CGB11 obtained from the intestine of small abalone, H. diversicolor, and P. sedimenticola NBRC 101628T. The resulted DNA–DNA hybridization (DDH) values of strains AFRC7-2-1T and CFD7-4-2 compared with P. sedimenticola NBRC 101628T was 18.8–18.9 %. The resultant average nucleotide identity (ANI) values of AFRC7-2-1T and CFD7-4-2 compared with P. sedimenticola NBRC 101628T was 71.3–71.5 %. The predominant fatty acids (>5 %) of strains AFRC7-2-1T and CFD7-4-2 were iso-C15 : 0, iso-C13 : 0, C14 : 0, C16 : 0, C17 : 1 ω8c and summed feature 3 (C16 : 1ω7c/C16 : 1ω6c). The quinone system of strains AFRC7-2-1T and CFD7-4-2 were quinone-8, menaquinone-6, menaquinone-7, and quinone-7. The predominant polar lipids of strain AFRC7-2-1T were identified as phosphatidylethanolamine (PE), phosphatidylglycerol (PG), one unidentified phospholipid (PL), and three minor unidentified lipids (Ls). The genomic DNA G+C contents of two strains were 47.2 mol%. In summary, the two strains represented a novel species of the genus Paraferrimonas , for which the name Paraferrimonas haliotis sp. nov. was proposed, with type strain AFRC7-2-1T (=MCCC 1A11748T=KCTC 52632T=NBRC 112785T) and strain CFD7-4-2 (=MCCC 1A11749=KCTC 52631=NBRC 112786).", }
