Abstract: A Gram-staining-negative, rod-shaped and red-pigmented bacterial strain, HMD3125T, was isolated from a solar saltern in Jeungdo, Republic of Korea. A phylogenetic tree based on 16S rRNA gene sequences showed that strain HMD3125T formed a lineage within the genus Pontibacter and was similar to Pontibacter salisaro (96.1%) and P. korlensis (95.3%). The major fatty acids of strain HMD3125T were summed feature 4 (comprising iso-C17:1 I and/or anteiso-C17:1 B; 30.4%), iso-C15:0 (20.4%) and iso-C17:0 3OH (17.2%). The polar lipid profile of HMD3125T consisted of the phosphatidylethanolamine, four unidentified polar lipids, unidentified phospholipid, unidentified aminolipid and unidentified aminophospholipid. Strain HMD3125T contained MK-7 as the predominant menaquinone and sym-homospermidine as the major polyamine. The DNA G+C content of strain HMD3125T was 45.6 mol%. Strain HMD3125T assigned as a novel species in the genus Pontibacter, for which the name Pontibacter jeungdoensis sp. nov. is proposed. The type strain is HMD3125T (=KCTC 23156T =CECT 7710T).
