A novel heterotrophic, moderately halophilic, strictly aerobic, motile bacterium was isolated from a seawater sample collected at the Blanes Bay Microbial Observatory in the north-western Mediterranean Sea. Analysis of its 16S rRNA gene sequence, retrieved from the whole-genome sequence, showed that this bacterium was most closely related to the single-species genera Reinekea and Saccharospirillum (95 and 94 % sequence similarity, respectively) within the class Gammaproteobacteria. The data from phenotypic, genotypic, chemotaxonomic and phylogenetic analyses supported the creation of a novel species of the genus Reinekea to accommodate this bacterium, for which the name Reinekea blandensis sp. nov. is proposed. The type strain is MED297T (=CECT 7120T =CCUG 52066T).

The GenBank/EMBL/DDBJ accession numbers for the 16S rRNA gene sequence and the genome sequence of strain MED297T are DQ403810 and AAOE00000000.

Maximum-parsimony and maximum-likelihood phylogenetic trees, based on almost-complete 16S rRNA gene sequences of strain MED297T and closely related species, are available as supplementary material with the online version of this paper.
