An aerobic, non-motile, rod-shaped and Gram-stain-negative marine bacterium, designated as HME9304 T , was isolated from surface seawater of the Yellow Sea. Growth was observed at 10-35 °C (optimum, 30 °C), pH 6-8 (pH 7) and with 1-5 % NaCl (2 %). The major fatty acids of strain HME9304 T were iso-C 15 : 1 G, iso-C 15 : 0 , iso-C 17 : 0 3-OH and summed feature 3 (C 16 : 1 ω 7 c and/or C 16 : 1 ω 6 c ). The only respiratory quinone was menaquinone-6. The major polar lipids were phosphatidylethanolamine, two unidentified aminolipids, one unidentified glycolipid and five unidentified polar lipids. Results of phylogenetic analysis based on the 16S rRNA gene sequence indicated that strain HME9304 T was affiliated with the genus Flagellimonas . Its closest type strains were Flagellimonas aquimarina ECD12 T (95.5 % sequence similarity), Flagellimonas flava A11 T (95.4 %), Flagellimonas pacifica SW169 T (94.9 %) and Flagellimonas eckloniae DOKDO 007 T (94.6 %). The DNA G+C content of the genomic DNA was 38.1 mol%. Phylogenetic, phenotypic and chemotaxonomic characteristics suggested that strain HME9304 T represents a novel species of the genus Flagellimonas within the family Flavobacteriaceae , for which the name Flagellimonas maritima sp. nov. is proposed. The type strain is HME9304 T (=KCTC 32464 T =KACC 17618 T =CECT 8418 T ).
