A yellow-pigmented bacterium with the ability to degrade starch, designated MEBiC07310, was isolated from tidal flat sediment collected in Taean County, Republic of Korea. Phylogenetic analysis based on the 16S rRNA gene sequence indicated that strain MEBiC07310 was affiliated with the genus Flavobacterium in the phylum Bacteroidetes and showed that the strain was most closely related to Flavobacterium haoranii LQY-7 (96.8 % similarity), followed by Flavobacterium indicum GPTSA 100-9 (95.

Article Synopsis
  • A new Gram-negative, aerobic bacterium called MEBiC06554(T) was isolated from seawater in the East Sea of Korea and identified as a distinct member of the Kordiimonadales order.
  • Genetic analysis showed that it is closely related to Kordiimonas gwangyangensis but forms its own unique lineage.
  • Growth conditions were determined, revealing optimal growth at 20°C, pH 7, and 3-3.5% NaCl, leading to the classification of MEBiC06554(T) as a new species, Kordiimonas aquimaris sp. nov.
