A rod-shaped marine bacterium, designated strain CL-TF09^T, isolated from a tidal flat in Ganghwa, Korea, was characterized based on its physiological and biochemical features, fatty acid profile and phylogenetic position. 16S rRNA gene sequence analysis revealed a clear affiliation with the family Flavobacteriaceae. Strain CL-TF09^T showed the closest phylogenetic relationship with the genera Tenacibaculum and Polaribacter; sequence similarities between CL-TF09^T and the type strains of Tenacibaculum and Polaribacter species ranged from 90·7 to 91·8 %. Cells of strain CL-TF09^T were non-motile and grew on solid media as yellow colonies. The strain grew in the presence of 1–5 % sea salts, within a temperature range of 5–30 °C and at pH 7–8. The strain had iso-C_{15 : 0} 3-OH (17·4 %), iso-C_{15 : 0} (16·7 %), anteiso-C_{15 : 0} (15·1 %) and iso-C_{16 : 0} 3-OH (13·4 %) as predominant fatty acids. The DNA G+C content was 33·9 mol%. Based on the physiological, fatty acid composition and phylogenetic data presented, strain CL-TF09^T is considered to represent a novel genus and species of the family Flavobacteriaceae, for which the name Lutibacter litoralis gen. nov., sp. nov. is proposed. The type strain is CL-TF09^T (=KCCM 42118^T=JCM 13034^T).

The GenBank/EMBL/DDBJ accession number for the 16S rRNA gene sequence of strain CL-TF09^T is AY962293.

The complete fatty acid profile of strain CL-TF09^T is given in Supplementary Table S1 available in IJSEM Online.
