<i>Flagellimonas ulvae</i> sp. nov. and <i>Flagellimonas rhodophyticola</i> sp. nov., isolated from marine algae.

ABSTRACT: Two Gram-stain-negative, strictly aerobic, non-motile, rod-shaped bacteria, designated strains S174ᵀ and W118ᵀ, were isolated from the marine green alga Ulva prolifera and the marine red alga Schizymenia dubyi, respectively, collected in South Korea. Both strains exhibited catalase- and oxidase-positive activities and grew optimally at 25 °C, pH 8.0 and 2.0% (w/v) NaCl. The major fatty acids (>10%) in both strains were iso-C_15:1 G, iso-C_15:0 and iso-C_17:0 3-OH, with phosphatidylethanolamine as the major polar lipid and menaquinone-6 as the predominant respiratory quinone. The genomic DNA G+C contents, based on whole-genome sequences, were 39.1 mol% for both strains. Strains S174ᵀ and W118ᵀ shared 93.6% 16S rRNA gene sequence similarity, 72.7%
