A Gram-negative, non-motile, rod-shaped bacterial strain, designated SMK-117T, belonging to the Alphaproteobacteria, was isolated from a tidal flat of the Yellow Sea, Korea, and was subjected to a polyphasic taxonomic study. Strain SMK-117T grew optimally at pH 7.0–8.0 and 30 °C in the presence of 2 % (w/v) NaCl. Neighbour-joining and maximum-likelihood phylogenetic trees based on 16S rRNA gene sequences showed that strain SMK-117T clustered with Maritimibacter alkaliphilus HTCC2654T, with which it exhibited a sequence similarity of 95.3 %. Strain SMK-117T contained Q-10 as the predominant ubiquinone and C18 : 1{omega}7c and 11-methyl C18 : 1{omega}7c as the major fatty acids. The major polar lipids were phosphatidylcholine, phosphatidylglycerol, phosphatidylethanolamine, an unidentified aminolipid and two unidentified phospholipids. The DNA G+C content was 63.5 mol%. Strain SMK-117T was differentiated from members of the genera Maritimibacter and Oceanicola on the basis of differences in the fatty acid and polar lipid profiles. The phenotypic, chemotaxonomic and phylogenetic data indicated that strain SMK-117T represents a novel genus and species, for which the name Lutimaribacter saemankumensis gen. nov., sp. nov. is proposed. The type strain of Lutimaribacter saemankumensis is SMK-117T (=KCTC 22244T =CCUG 55760T).

The GenBank/EMBL/DDBJ accession number for the 16S rRNA gene sequence of strain SMK-117T is EU336981.

A transmission electron micrograph of cells of strain SMK-117T from exponentially growing culture is available as supplementary material with the online version of this paper.
