A Gram-stain-negative, non-flagellated, non-gliding, aerobic and rod-shaped or ovoid bacterial strain, designated W-BA7 T , was isolated from a brown alga reservoir on the South Sea in Korea. This strain grew optimally at 25 °C, pH 7.0–8.0 presence of approximately 2.0 % (w/v) NaCl. neighbour-joining phylogenetic tree based 16S rRNA gene sequences showed that belonged to genus Polaribacter clustering coherently with type sejongensis showing 99.3 sequence similarity. Strain exhibited similarity 93.4–98.6 strains other species . contained MK-6 as predominant menaquinone iso-C 15 : 0 3-OH anteiso-C major fatty acids. The polar lipids were phosphatidylethanolamine, three unidentified lipids, one glycolipid, aminolipid aminophospholipid. DNA G+C content 31.9 mol%, mean DNA–DNA relatedness four phylogenetically related 12–27 %. Differential phenotypic properties, together its genetic distinctiveness, revealed is separated recognized On basis data presented, considered represent novel for which name undariae sp. nov. proposed.
