Strain R46(T), a marine alphaproteobacterium, was isolated from Mediterranean seawater at Malvarrosa beach, Valencia, Spain. It is an aerobic chemo-organotrophic, mesophilic and slightly halophilic organism, with complex ionic requirements. Phylogenetic analyses based on the 16S rRNA and gyrB gene sequences showed that strain R46(T) formed a separate branch within the family Rhodobacteraceae, bearing similarities below 94.7 and 80.3%, respectively, to any other recognized species. It contained Q10 as the predominant isoprenoid quinone and C(18:1)ω7c/C(18:1)ω6c as the major cellular fatty acid. Phosphatidylglycerol was the only identified polar lipid, although other lipids were also detected. The DNA G+C content of the genomic DNA was 61.3 mol%. On the basis of extensive phenotypic and phylogenetic comparative analysis, it is concluded that the strain represents a novel genus and species, for which the name Actibacterium mucosum gen. nov., sp. nov. is proposed. The type strain of the type species is Actibacterium mucosum R46(T) ( = CECT 7668(T) = KCTC 23349(T)).

A Gram-stain-negative, non-motile, rod-shaped bacterium, designated JN33, was isolated from seawater collected from the western Pacific Ocean. Strain JN33 was positive for hydrolysis of aesculin and gelatin. On the basis of 16S rRNA gene sequence analysis, strain JN33 showed high 16S rRNA gene sequence similarity to Actibacterium atlanticum 22II-S11-z10 (97.
