7c and/or iso-C15 : 0 2-OH, 19·6 %), iso-C15 : 0 (18·8 %) and iso-C17 : 0 3-OH (13·6 %). Fatty acids such as C18 : 3
6c (6,9,12) (1·5 %) and summed feature 4 (iso I- and/or anteiso B-C17 : 1, 1·3 %) were uniquely found in minor quantities in CL-TF13T among Tenacibaculum species. The DNA G+C content was 30 mol%. According to physiological data, fatty-acid composition and 16S rRNA gene sequence, CL-TF13T could be assigned to the genus Tenacibaculum but distinguished from the recognized species of the genus. Therefore, strain CL-TF13T (=KCCM 42115T=JCM 13039T) represents a novel species, for which the name Tenacibaculum litoreum sp. nov. is proposed.

The GenBank/EMBL/DDBJ accession number for the 16S rRNA gene sequence of strain CL-TF13T is AY962294.

In this study, strain CL-TF13T, related to the genus Tenacibaculum, was isolated from tidal flat sediment in Ganghwa, Korea. The sediment slurry was spread onto a plate containing marine agar 2216 (MA; Difco) and the plate was incubated at 30 °C for 1 week. Strain CL-TF13T was isolated on the plate and subsequently purified four times on MA at 30 °C. The strain was maintained both on MA at 4 °C and in marine broth 2216 (MB; Difco) supplemented with 30 % (v/v) glycerol at 80 °C.
The 16S rRNA gene was amplified from a single colony by PCR with Taq DNA polymerase (Bioneer) and primers 27F and 1492R (Lane, 1991
). The PCR product was purified using the AccuPrep PCR Purification kit (Bioneer) and cloned using the pCR2.1 TOPO TA Cloning kit (Invitrogen). Sequencing of the 16S rRNA gene was performed with an Applied Biosystems automatic sequencer (ABI 3730XL) at Macrogen (Seoul, Korea). The almost-complete 16S rRNA gene sequence of strain CL-TF13T (1446 bp) was obtained and compared with 16S rRNA gene sequences available in GenBank using BLASTN (Altschul et al., 1990
) searches. The sequence of strain CL-TF13T was manually aligned with those of the type strains of six Tenacibaculum species and with the type species of other genera in the family Flavobacteriaceae obtained from GenBank and Ribosomal Database Project (Cole et al., 2003
) databases using known 16S rRNA secondary structure information. Phylogenetic trees were obtained by neighbour-joining (Saitou & Nei, 1987
), maximum-parsimony (Fitch, 1971
) and maximum-likelihood (Felsenstein, 1981
) methods. An evolutionary distance matrix for the neighbour-joining method was generated according to the model of Jukes & Cantor (1969)
. The robustness of tree topologies was assessed by bootstrap analyses based on 1000 replications for neighbour-joining and maximum-parsimony methods and 100 replications for the maximum-likelihood method. Alignment analysis was carried out using the jPHYDIT program (version 1.0; http://chunlab.snu.ac.kr/jphydit/) and phylogenetic analysis was carried out using MEGA3 (Kumar et al., 2004
) and PAUP* 4.0 (Swofford, 1998
). Likelihood parameters were estimated by the hierarchical ratio tests in MODELTEST, version 3.04 (Posada & Crandall, 1998
). Sequence similarity indicated that the closest relatives of strain CL-TF13T were T. lutimaris (97·4 %), T. mesophilum (97·1 %), T. skagerrakense (96·5 %), T. amylolyticum (96·0 %), T. ovolyticum (95·4 %) and T. maritimum (94·2 %). Phylogenetic analyses based on the 16S rRNA gene sequence showed that strain CL-TF13T formed a robust cluster with species of the genus Tenacibaculum (Fig. 1
). Thus, it is clear that our isolate belongs to the genus Tenacibaculum. The DNA G+C content was determined using the thermal denaturation method (Mandel & Marmur, 1968
) and was found to be 30 mol%, at the lower limit of the range reported in other Tenacibaculum species (Table 1
). As the similarities between strain CL-TF13T and two species (T. lutimaris and T. mesophilum) were close to the theoretical threshold (97 %) for the delineation of bacterial species based on 16S rRNA gene sequence similarity (Stackebrandt & Goebel, 1994
), the relatedness of genomic DNA was determined by dot-blot hybridization. Probe DNA labelling was performed using a nick translation kit (Roche) and hybridization and detection were done using the DIG labelling and detection kit (Roche) according to the manufacturer's instruction. The DNADNA relatedness between CL-TF13T and T. lutimaris was 11 %, while that for T. mesophilum was 46 %. These values are below the currently accepted limit of DNA relatedness (70 %) for the phylogenetic definition of a species (Stackebrandt & Goebel, 1994
) and therefore provide evidence that the isolate represents a novel species in the genus Tenacibaculum.

-galactosidase, acid production from glucose and hydrolysis of aesculin were tested using API 20NE kit (bioMérieux) according to the manufacturer's instruction, except that the cell suspension was prepared using artificial sea water (ASW; 24 g NaCl, 5·1 g MgCl2, 4 g Na2SO4, 1·1 g CaCl2, 0·7 g KCl, 0·2 g NaHCO3, 0·1 g KBr, 0·027 g H3BO3, 0·024 g SrCl2, 0·003 g NaF, 1 l distilled water; Lyman & Fleming, 1940
Isoprenoid quinone was isolated according to Minnikin et al. (1984)
and analysed by HPLC as described by Collins (1985)
. The major isoprenoid quinone in CL-TF13T was menaquinone-6 (MK-6). Pigments were extracted from cells cultured in the dark for 1 day by using methanol and analysed by HPLC system. Flexirubin pigments were detected by a colour-shift test using 20 % (w/v) KOH solution (Reichenbach, 1992
). CL-TF13T contained zeaxanthin as the major carotenoid pigment but did not contain flexirubin pigments. Thus, the characteristics of isoprenoid quinone and pigments were the same as other Tenacibaculum species. The fatty acid methyl esters in whole cells, which were grown on MA at 30 °C for 1 day, were analysed by gas chromatography according to the instructions of the Microbial Identification system (MIDI) at the Korean Culture Center of Microorganisms (Seoul, Korea). Similar to other members of the genus, the fatty-acid profile of CL-TF13T was dominated by summed feature 3 (C16 : 1
7c and/or iso-C15 : 0 2-OH, 19·6 %), iso-C15 : 0 (18·8 %), iso-C17 : 0 3-OH (13·6 %), iso-C15 : 1 (8·2 %), iso-C16 : 0 3-OH (6·8 %) and iso-C15 : 0 3-OH (6·6 %) (Table 2
). However, the relative proportions of the dominant fatty acids in CL-TF13T were different from other Tenacibaculum species and three fatty acids, C18 : 3
6c (6,9,12) (1·5 %), summed feature 4 (iso I- and/or anteiso B-C17 : 1, 1·3 %) and an unknown fatty acid (ECL 13.565) (1·3 %), were uniquely found in minor quantities in CL-TF13T among Tenacibaculum species. Therefore, the fatty-acid pattern of strain CL-TF13T differed significantly from those of previously described Tenacibaculum species.
