<i>Tenacibaculum platacis</i> sp. nov., <i>Tenacibaculum vairaonense</i> sp. nov. and <i>Tenacibaculum polynesiense</i> sp. nov. isolated from batfish (<i>Platax orbicularis</i>) in Tahiti Island, French Polynesia.

ABSTRACT: Ten novel Gram-negative, aerobic, non-sporulating, yellow-pigmented rod-shaped bacterial strains motile by gliding were isolated from marine organisms/environments in French Polynesia. Three of them designated as 190524A05c^T, 190524A02b^T and 190130A14a^T were retrieved from orbicular batfish (Platax orbicularis) mucus. Online database comparisons using 16S rRNA amplicons resulted in over 95% similarity to the genus Tenacibaculum. Phylogenetic analyses based on 679 concatenated core protein sequences revealed that strains 190524A05c^T, 190524A02b^T and 190130A14a^T showed the highest similarity to Tenacibaculum skagerrakense DSM 14836^T, Tenacibaculum xiamenense LMG 27422^T and T
