A Gram-negative, non-motile, rod-shaped, Microbulbifer-like bacterial strain, ISL-39^T, was isolated from a marine solar saltern of the Yellow Sea in Korea and was subjected to a polyphasic taxonomic investigation. Strain ISL-39^T grew optimally at pH 7.0–8.0 and 37 °C. It contained Q-8 as the predominant ubiquinone and iso-C_{15 : 0}, C_{16 : 0} and iso-C_{17 : 0} as the major fatty acids. The DNA G+C content was 57.7 mol%. A phylogenetic analysis based on 16S rRNA gene sequences showed that strain ISL-39^T belonged to the genus Microbulbifer. Strain ISL-39^T exhibited 16S rRNA gene sequence similarity values of 94.7–97.5 % with respect to the type strains of four recognized Microbulbifer species. DNA–DNA relatedness data and the differential phenotypic properties and phylogenetic distinctiveness of ISL-39^T make this strain distinguishable from the recognized Microbulbifer species. On the basis of the phenotypic, phylogenetic and genetic data, strain ISL-39^T represents a novel species of the genus Microbulbifer, for which the name Microbulbifer celer sp. nov. is proposed. The type strain is ISL-39^T (=KCTC 12973^T=CCUG 54356^T).
