A marine bacterial strain, designated FR1050^T, was isolated from a sediment sample of getbol (Korean tidal flat). Phylogenetic investigations based on 16S rRNA gene sequence analysis showed that the isolate formed a robust monophyletic clade with Hahella chejuensis within the -Proteobacteria. Sequence similarity between strain FR1050^T and the type strain of Hahella chejuensis was 94·7 %. Cells were Gram-negative, aerobic, rod-shaped, motile and halophilic; optimum growth occurred at sea salt concentrations of 4–6 %. The major fatty acids were C_{18 : 1}9c (39·0 %) and C_{16 : 0} (18·1 %). The DNA G+C content was 44 mol%. The polyphasic data obtained showed that strain FR1050^T is affiliated to the genus Hahella but represents a novel species for which the name Hahella ganghwensis sp. nov. is proposed. The type strain is FR1050^T (=KCTC 12277^T=JCM 12486^T).

The GenBank/EMBL/DDBJ accession number for the 16S rRNA gene sequence of strain FR1050^T is AY676463.
