The neighbour-joining phylogenetic tree based on 16S rRNA gene sequences showed that strain KEM-5T fell within the clade comprising the type strains of Erythrobacter species. Strain KEM-5T exhibited 16S rRNA gene sequence similarities of 97.01–97.66 % to the type strains of E.rythrobacter citreus, E.rythrobacter seohaensis and E.rythrobacter pelagi and of 94.18–96.95 % to the type strains of the other Erythrobacter species. The genomicaverage nucleotide identity values of strain KEM-5T with a non-type strain (LAMA 915) of E. citreus and E. seohaensis SW-135T were 76.04 and 74.98 %, respectively. Mean DNA–DNA relatedness values between strain KEM-5T and the type strains of E. citreus , E. seohaensis and E. pelagi were 10–18 %. Strain KEM-5T contained Q-10 as the predominant ubiquinone and C18 : 1  ω7c, summed feature 3 (C16 : 1ω7c and/or C16 : 1ω6c), C16 : 0 and C17 : 1ω6c as the major fatty acids. The major polar lipids of strain KEM-5T were phosphatidylcholine, phosphatidylethanolamine, phosphatidylglycerol and sphingoglycolipid. The DNA G+C content of strain KEM-5T was 62.4 mol%. Distinguishing phenotypic properties, together with the phylogenetic and genetic distinctiveness, revealed that strain KEM-5T is separated from recognized Erythrobacter species. On the basis of the data presented here, strain KEM-5T is considered to represent a novel species of the genus Erythrobacter , for which the name Erythrobacter marisflavi sp. nov. is proposed. The type strain is KEM-5T (=KACC 19865T=KCTC 62896T=NBRC 113546T)., language=, type=
