A novel heterotrophic, marine, strictly aerobic, motile bacterium was isolated from the Red Sea at a depth of 1 m. Analysis of its 16S rRNA gene sequence, retrieved from the whole-genome sequence, showed that this bacterium was most closely related to the genera Oleispira, Oceanobacter and Thalassolituus, each of which contains a single species, within the class Gammaproteobacteria. Phenotypic, genotypic and phylogenetic analyses supported the creation of a novel genus and species to accommodate this bacterium, for which the name Bermanella marisrubri gen. nov., sp. nov. is proposed. The type strain of Bermanella marisrubri is RED65T (=CECT 7074T =CCUG 52064T).

The GenBank/EMBL/DDBJ accession numbers for the 16S rRNA gene sequence and the genome sequence of strain RED65T are AY136131 and AAQH00000000, respectively.

A scanning electron micrograph of cells of strain RED65T and maximum-parsimony and maximum-likelihood phylogenetic trees based on almost-complete 16S rRNA gene sequences of strain RED65T and closely related species are available as supplementary figures with the online version of this paper.
