An aerobic, Gram-negative, yellow-pigmented, gliding bacterial strain, designated R60T, was isolated from a marine sediment sample obtained from the Sea of Japan and was characterized by using a polyphasic approach. 16S rRNA gene sequence analysis showed that strain R60T belonged to the genus Winogradskyella, sharing <97 % sequence similarity with the type strains of recognized Winogradskyella species. The main fatty acids of strain R60T were iso-C15 : 0 3-OH, iso-C16 : 0 3-OH, iso-C17 : 0 3-OH, anteiso-C17 : 0 3-OH and iso-C15 : 0, consistent with its assignment to the genus Winogradskyella. On the basis of phenotypic distinctiveness and phylogenetic divergence, strain R60T is considered to represent a novel species of the genus Winogradskyella, for which the name Winogradskyella arenosi sp. nov. is proposed. The type strain is R60T (=KMM 3968T =NRIC 0748T= JCM 15527T).
A maximum-parsimony phylogenetic tree based on 16S rRNA gene sequences showing the position of strain R60T among recognized Winogradskyella species and related taxa is available with the online version of this paper.
