A novel aerobic, non-motile, Gram-negative bacterium, designatedAS06/20aT, was isolated from coastal waters of the AdriaticSea and subjected to polyphasic taxonomic analysis. Cells wererod-shaped and formed non-pigmented punctiform colonies on agarplates. The novel isolate grew heterotrophically on a varietyof carbon compounds, including organic acids, carbohydrates,polyols, amino acids and complex organic substrates. Cells grewat 15–33 °C (optimum 30 °C), pH 6.5–8.5(optimum pH 7.5–8.0) and between 2 and 6 % (w/v)NaCl (optimum 2 %). The dominant fatty acids (>5 %) detectedin strain AS06/20aT were iso-C15 : 1 G, iso-C15 : 0, iso-C15: 0 3-OH, iso-C17 : 19c and iso-C17 : 0 3-OH. The major respiratoryquinone was MK-6. The G+C content of the genomic DNA was 38.9 mol%.Phylogenetic analyses based on 16S rRNA gene sequences showedthat strain AS06/20aT fell within the family Flavobacteriaceaein the phylum Bacteroidetes. Comparative 16S rRNA gene sequenceanalysis indicated that strain AS06/20aT was most closely relatedto members of the genera Zeaxanthinibacter and Robiginitalea,sharing 92–93 % 16S rRNA gene sequence similarity withrepresentatives of these genera. It is proposed, from the resultsof the polyphasic taxonomic analysis, that the strain shouldbe placed in a new genus, Eudoraea gen. nov., with Eudoraeaadriatica sp. nov. as the type species. The type strain is AS06/20aT(=DSM 19308T=CIP 109577T=OOB 358T).
