A Gram-stain-negative, strictly aerobic, marine bacterium,
designated GH2-2T, was isolated from a rhizosphere mudflat
of a halophyte (Carex scabrifolia) in Gangwha Island,
the Republic of Korea. The cells of the organism were oxidase-
positive, catalase-positive, flagellated, short rods that
grew at 10–40°C, pH 4–10, and 0–13% (w/v) NaCl. The predominant
ubiquinone was Q-10. The major polar lipids were
phosphatidylcholine, phosphatidylethanolamine, and phosphatidylglycerol.
The major fatty acid is C18:1. Phylogenetic
analysis based on 16S rRNA gene sequences revealed that the
novel isolate formed an independent lineage at the base of
the radiation encompassing members of the genus Thioclava,
except for Thioclava arenosa. The closest relatives were T.
nitratireducens (96.03% sequence similarity) and T. dalianensis
(95.97%). The genome size and DNA G+C content
were 3.77 Mbp and 59.6 mol%, respectively. Phylogenomic
analysis supported phylogenetic distinctness based on 16S
rRNA gene sequences. Average nucleotide identity values
were 73.6–74.0% between the novel strain and members of
the genus Thioclava. On the basis of data obtained from a
polyphasic approach, the strain GH2-2T (= KCTC 62124T =
DSM 105743T) represents a novel species of a new genus for
which the name Hahyoungchilella caricis gen. nov., sp. nov. is
proposed. Moreover, the transfer of Thioclava arenosa Thongphrom
et al. 2017 to Pseudothioclava gen. nov. as Pseudothioclava
arenosa comb. nov. is also proposed. Finally, Thioclava
electrotropha Chang et al. 2018 is proposed to be a later
heterosynonym of Thioclava sediminum Liu et al. 2017.
