Two strains of gliding, agarolytic bacteria, strains YS10^T and YML5, were isolated from coastal seawater off Kamogawa, Japan. Phylogenetic analysis based on 16S rRNA gene sequences showed that the novel isolates represent a separate lineage within the genus Flammeovirga. DNA–DNA hybridization values between these isolates and the type strains of species of the genus Flammeovirga were significantly lower than those accepted as threshold values for the phylogenetic definition of a species. Furthermore, some of the phenotypic characteristics indicate that the isolates differ from other Flammeovirga species. Based on these differences, it is suggested that the isolates represent a novel species, for which the name Flammeovirga kamogawensis sp. nov. is proposed. The type strain is YS10^T (=IAM 15451^T=NCIMB 14281^T).

The GenBank/EMBL/DDBJ accession number for the 16S rRNA gene sequences of strains YS10^T (=IAM 15451^T=NCIMB 14281^T) and YML5 are AB251933 and AB251934, respectively.
