A marine bacterial strain, designated FR1330T, was isolated from a seawater sample collected near Ganghwa Island, the Republic of Korea. Phylogenetic analysis based on 16S rRNA gene sequences indicated that strain FR1330T belonged to the Gammaproteobacteria and was related to the genus Luteimonas; its closest neighbours were the type strains of Luteimonas composti (97.9 % sequence similarity) and Luteimonas mephitis (95.0 %). DNA–DNA relatedness values for strain FR1330T with Luteimonas composti CC-YY255T and Luteimonas mephitis KACC 11391T were 33 and 10 %, respectively. Cells of strain FR1330T were Gram-negative, aerobic, rod-shaped and oxidase- and catalase-positive. The predominant respiratory lipoquinone was ubiquinone-8. The major fatty acids were branched-chain saturated iso-C15 : 0 (26.2 %) and unsaturated iso-C17 : 1{omega}9c (26.0 %). The DNA G+C content was 67.6 mol%. On the basis of several phenotypic characteristics, strain FR1330T could be differentiated from Luteimonas composti and Luteimonas mephitis. The data obtained from the polyphasic study demonstrated clearly that strain FR1330T represents a novel species of the genus Luteimonas. The name Luteimonas marina sp. nov. is proposed, with strain FR1330T (=KCTC 12327T=JCM 12488T=IMSNU 60306T) as the type strain.

The GenBank/EMBL/DDBJ accession number for 16S rRNA gene sequence of strain FR1330T is EU295459.

A transmission electron micrograph of cells of strain FR1330T and a Fitch–Margoliash tree based on 16S rRNA gene sequences are available as supplementary material with the online version of this paper.
