ABSTRACT: A Gram-stain-negative, yellow-pigmented, and strictly aerobic bacterium, designated as strain MSW5^T, was isolated from seawater of the Yellow Sea in South Korea. The cells were non-motile rods exhibiting oxidase- and catalase-positive activities. Growth was observed at 15-25 °C (optimum, 25 °C) and pH 5.0-9.0 (optimum, pH 7.0-8.0) and in the presence of 1.0-5.0% (w/v) NaCl (optimum, 2.0%). Menaquinone-6 was the sole respiratory quinone, and iso-C_15 : 0, summed feature 3 (C_16 : 1  ω7c and/or C_16 : 1  ω6c), iso-C_15 : 0 3-OH, and C_15 : 1  ω6c were the major cellular fatty acids. Major polar lipids included phosphatidylethanolamine, two unidentified aminolipids, and three unidentified li
