A Gram-negative, motile, strictly aerobic, violet-pigment-producing bacterium, designated strain FR1199^T, was isolated from tidal flat sediment of Byunsan, South Korea. Phylogenetic analysis of the 16S rRNA gene sequence revealed that strain FR1199^T represents a distinct line of descent within the genus Pseudoalteromonas. The phenotypic features of strain FR1199^T were similar to those of Pseudoalteromonas phenolica and Pseudoalteromonas luteoviolacea, but several physiological and chemotaxonomical properties readily distinguished strain FR1199^T from these species. Major fatty acids were straight-chain saturated (C_{16 : 0}) and monounsaturated C_{18 : 1}7c fatty acids. The DNA G+C content was 39 mol%. On the basis of polyphasic evidence, it is concluded that the isolate represents a novel species within the genus Pseudoalteromonas, for which the name Pseudoalteromonas byunsanensis sp. nov. is proposed. The type strain is FR1199^T (=JCM 12483^T=KCTC 12274^T).

Published online ahead of print on 16 September 2005 as DOI 10.1099/ijs.0.63750-0.

The GenBank/EMBL/DDBJ accession number for the 16S rRNA gene sequence of Pseudoalteromonas byunsanensis sp. nov. FR1199^T is DQ011289.
