Nedashkovskaya olganedashkovska{at}piboc.dvo.ru Six novel gliding, heterotrophic, Gram-negative, yellow-pigmented, aerobic, oxidase- and catalase-positive bacteria were isolated from the green alga Ulva fenestrata , sea water and a bottom sediment sample collected in the Gulf of Peter the Great, Sea of Japan. 16S rRNA gene sequence analysis revealed that the strains studied were members of the family Flavobacteriaceae . On the basis of their phenotypic, chemotaxonomic, genotypic and phylogenetic characteristics, the novel bacteria have been assigned to the new genus Maribacter gen. nov., as Maribacter sedimenticola sp. nov., Maribacter orientalis sp. nov., Maribacter aquivivus sp. nov. and Maribacter ulvicola sp. nov., with the type strains KMM 3903 T (=KCTC 12966 T =CCUG 47098 T ), KMM 3947 T (=KCTC 12967 T =CCUG 48008 T ), KMM 3949 T (=KCTC 12968 T =CCUG 48009 T ) and KMM 3951 T (=KCTC 12969 T =DSM 15366 T ), respectively. Published online ahead of print on 17 October 2003 as DOI 10.1099/ijs.0.02849-0. The GenBank/EMBL/DDBJ accession numbers for Maribacter sedimenticola KMM 3903 T , Maribacter orientalis KMM 3947 T , Maribacter aquivivus KMM 3949 T and Maribacter ulvicola KMM 3951 T are AY271623 , AY271624 , AY271625 and AY271626 , respectively. Micrographs of some of the strains described in this study are available from IJSEM Online.
