A light-orange, aerobic bacterium, strain UST040201-001T, that degrades casein, gelatin and Tween 20, was isolated in February 2004 from a sand-filtered seawater sample from Port Shelter, Hong Kong SAR, China. The strain possessed menaquinone-6 and its 16S rRNA gene sequence shared only 90.1 % similarity with that of Brumimicrobium glaciale IC156T. Phylogenetic analysis showed that UST040201-001T formed a distinct lineage within the family Cryomorphaceae. Its ecophysiological and biochemical characteristics suggest that this strain represents a novel genus and species within the phylum Bacteroidetes. The name Lishizhenia caseinilytica gen. nov., sp. nov. is proposed. The type strain of Lishizhenia caseinilytica is UST040201-001T (=NRRL B-41434T=JCM 13821T).

The GenBank/EMBL/DDBJ accession number for the 16S rRNA gene sequence of strain UST040201-001T is AB176674.

A photograph showing colony morphology and phase-contrast and scanning electron micrographs of strain UST040201-001T are available as supplementary material in IJSEM Online.
