An aerobic, non-motile, Gram-negative, orange-pigmented, rod-shaped, astaxanthin-producing marine bacterium was isolated from the Haeundae Coast, Korea. This strain, BC74171^T, produced carotenoids, mainly astaxanthin. All the type strains of the genus Paracoccus were compared with strain BC74171^T using 16S rRNA gene sequence analysis, fatty acid patterns and physiological reaction profiles. Based on the results of these analyses, it is proposed that strain BC74171^T represents a novel species, Paracoccus haeundaensis sp. nov. The type strain is BC74171^T (=KCCM 10460^T=LMG P-21903^T).

The GenBank/EMBL/DDBJ accession number for the 16S rRNA gene sequence of strain BC74171^T is AY189743.

A transmission electron micrograph of strain BC74171^T and a table showing selected characteristics of Paracoccus haeundaensis sp. nov. and related Paracoccus species are available as supplementary material in IJSEM Online.
