A rod-shaped, translucent yellow-pigmented, Gram-negative bacterium, strain B390T, was isolated from the bryozoan Schizobrachiella sanguinea collected in the Adriatic Sea, near Rovinj, Croatia. 16S rRNA gene sequence analysis indicated affiliation to the genus Tenacibaculum, with sequence similarity levels of 94.8–97.3 % to type strains of species with validly published names. It grew at 5–34 °C, with optimal growth at 18–26 °C, and only in the presence of NaCl or sea salts. In contrast to other type strains of the genus, strain B390T was able to hydrolyse aesculin. The predominant menaquinone was MK-6 and major fatty acids were iso-C15 : 0, iso-C15 : 0 3-OH and iso-C15 : 1. The DNA G+C content was 31.6 mol%. DNA–DNA hybridization and comparative physiological tests were performed with type strains Tenacibaculum aestuarii JCM 13491T and Tenacibaculum lutimaris DSM 16505T, since they exhibit 16S rRNA gene sequence similarities above 97 %. These data, as well as phylogenetic analyses, suggest that strain B390T (=DSM 18961T =JCM 14633T) should be classified as the type strain of a novel species within the genus Tenacibaculum, for which the name Tenacibaculum adriaticum sp. nov. is proposed.

The GenBank/EMBL/DDBJ accession number for the 16S rRNA gene sequence of strain B390T is AM412314.

A 16S rRNA gene sequence-based neighbour-joining tree and detailed Biolog utilization results are available as supplementary material with the online version of this paper.
