A novel bacterium designated Mok-1-85T was isolated from a marine sediment sample collected from Okinawa Island, Japan. Cells of strain Mok-1-85T stained Gram-negative, were catalase- and oxidase-positive and were non-motile. In a neighbour-joining tree based on 16S rRNA gene sequences, the novel strain clustered with the genus Flammeovirga, a member of the family ‘Flammeovirgaceae’. The novel isolate shared low 16S rRNA gene sequence similarities (≤86 %) with the members of the genus Flammeovirga and other related taxa. The major isoprenoid quinone was MK-7 and the predominant fatty acids of this organism were iso-C15 : 0, C16 : 1{omega}5c and C16 : 0 3-OH. The G+C content of the DNA was 38 mol%. Combined phylogenetic and physiological data showed that strain Mok-1-85T represents a novel genus and species for which the name Sediminitomix flava gen. nov., sp. nov. is proposed. The type strain is Mok-1-85T (=NBRC 101625T=KCTC 12970T=CIP 109411T).

The GenBank/EMBL/DDBJ accession no. for the 16S rRNA gene sequence of Sediminitomix flava strain Mok-1-85T is AB255370.
