Four Gram-negative, rod-shaped bacterial strains, TF-26^T, TF-28, TF-42 and TF-53, were isolated from a tidal flat in the Yellow Sea, Korea, and their taxonomic positions were determined by a polyphasic characterization. The strains grew optimally in the presence of 2–3 % (w/v) NaCl and at 30–37 °C. The predominant menaquinone detected in the four strains was MK-6. These strains contained large amounts of fatty acids C_{16 : 1}7c and/or iso-C_{15 : 0} 2-OH, iso-C_{15 : 0}, iso-C_{16 : 0} 3-OH, C_{15 : 0} and iso-C_{17 : 0} 3-OH. The DNA G+C contents of the four strains were 32·3–32·8 mol%. Strains TF-26^T, TF-28, TF-42 and TF-53 showed 16S rRNA gene sequence similarity levels of 99·8–100 % and DNA–DNA relatedness levels of 82–87 %. The four strains exhibited 16S rRNA gene sequence similarity levels of 95·0–98·0 % to the type strains of the five current Tenacibaculum species, and DNA–DNA relatedness levels between the four strains and two phylogenetic relatives, Tenacibaculum mesophilum DSM 13764^T and Tenacibaculum skagerrakense DSM 14836^T, were less than 21 %. On the basis of phenotypic, phylogenetic and genetic data, strains TF-26^T, TF-28, TF-42 and TF-53 were classified in the genus Tenacibaculum as members of a novel species, for which the name Tenacibaculum lutimaris sp. nov. (type strain, TF-26^T=KCTC 12302^T=DSM 16505^T) is proposed.

The GenBank/EMBL/DDBJ accession numbers for the 16S rRNA gene sequences of strains TF-26^T, TF-28, TF-42 and TF-53 are AY661691, AY661692, AY661693 and AY661694, respectively.
