Two Gram-stain-negative, obligately aerobic, non-motile, short rod-shaped bacteria, designated IMCC43871T and IMCC45206T, were isolated from coastal surface seawater collected from the Yellow Sea and the South Sea of Korea, respectively. The two strains shared 99.2% 16S rRNA gene sequence similarity with each other and exhibited ≤ 98.4% similarity to three described Rubrivirga species. Average nucleotide identity (ANI) and digital DNA–DNA hybridization (dDDH) values between IMCC43871T and IMCC45206T were 88.5% and 36.3%, respectively, confirming that they represent two distinct species. Their ANI (≤ 77.7%) and dDDH (≤ 21.4%) values relative to the type strains of the genus Rubrivirga further supported the recognition of strains IMCC43871T and IMCC45206T as two novel species within the genus. The complete genomes of IMCC43871T (4.17 Mb, 71.8% G + C content) and IMCC45206T (4.17 Mb, 72.8% G + C content) fall within the known genomic range of the genus. Cellular fatty acid, quinone, and polar lipid profiles were consistent with the chemotaxonomic features of the genus Rubrivirga, supporting their affiliation with the genus. Based on phylogenetic, genomic, and phenotypic evidence, strains IMCC43871T and IMCC45206T are proposed as two novel species, Rubrivirga aquatilis sp. nov. and Rubrivirga halophila sp. nov., respectively. The type strains are IMCC43871T (= KCTC 102072T = NBRC 116463T) and IMCC45206T (= KCTC 92925T = NBRC 116172T = CCTCC AB 2023136T).

AbstractAbstract
This study was undertaken to investigate the influence of culture conditions and medium components on production of antibacterial compounds by Serratia sp. WPRA3 (JX020764) which was isolated from marine water of Port Dickson, Malaysia. Biochemical, morphological, and molecular characteristics suggested that the isolate is a new candidate of the Serratia sp. The isolate showed strong antimicrobial activity against fungi, Gram-negative and Gram-positive bacteria. This bacterium exhibited optimum antibacterial compounds production at 28°C, pH 7 and 200 rev/min aeration during 72 h of incubation period. Highest antibacterial activity was obtained when sodium chloride (2%), yeast extract (0.5%), and glucose concentration (0.75%) were used as salt, nitrogen, and carbon sources respectively. Different active fractions were obtained by Thin-Layer Chromatography (TLC) and Flash Column Chromatography (FCC) from ethyl acetate crude extracts namely OCE and RCE in different culture conditions, OCE (pH 5, 200 rev/min) and RCE (pH 7/without aeration). In conclusion, the results suggested different culture conditions have a significant impact on the types of secondary metabolites produced by the bacterium.

AbstractAbstract
A novel species belonging to the genus Grimontia is described in this study. A Gram-negative, chemoheterotrophic, obligately aerobic, catalase- and oxidase-positive, motile by a single polar flagellum, and rod-shaped bacterium, designated IMCC5001T, was isolated from surface seawater of the Yellow Sea. Strain IMCC5001T grew optimally at 30°C in the presence of 3.5% NaCl. Phylogenetic analysis based on 16S rRNA gene sequences showed that the isolate was related most closely to Grimontia hollisae with a sequence similarity of 95.8%, and formed a robust phyletic lineage with Grimontia hollisae. Differential physiological characteristics between the new strain and Grimontia hollisae KCCM 41680T and chemotaxonomic characterization including determination of DNA G+C content, fatty acid methyl esters, quinone composition, and polar lipid profiles justified the assignment of strain IMCC5001T to the genus Grimontia as a novel species. In conclusion, strain IMCC5001T represents a new species, for which the name Grimontia marina sp. nov. is proposed, with the type strain IMCC5001T (=KCTC 22666T =NBRC 105794T).

AbstractAbstract
Several marine bacterial strains were isolated from Undaria pinnatifida (Miyok in Korean). Sixty-six strains were isolated on R2A agar media at 10°C and identified by a phylogenetic analysis of the 16S rRNA gene sequences. They were grouped into 10 different sequence types based on the initial sequence analysis of the 5'''' domain of the gene (approximately 500 bp). Full sequences of 16S rRNA gene were obtained from one strain in each sequence type and the species-affiliation was determined using phylogenetic and sequence similarity analyses. The results of the analyses indicated that they were closely related to Psychrobacter aquimaris, P. celer, P. nivimaris, P. pulmonis, Psychromonas arctica or Bacillus psychrodurans.These bacteria are marine or psychrotrophic bacteria. Because the sporophytes of U.pinnatifida are cultured on the costal area during winter, the U. pinnatifida-associated bacteria appeared to grow at low temperatures. U. pinnatifida sporophytes can be a good source for the isolation of psychrotrophic bacteria.

AbstractAbstract
The effect of cryoprotectants and suspending solutions on the preservation of marine heterotophic bacteria was investigated. Six halotolerant and four halophilic bacterial isolates suspended in either distilled water or artificial seawater were preserved in glycerol and dimethylsulfoxide at -70 C, respectively. After one year of preservation, the recovery rates on the appropriate agar plates were estimated. The survival rate was found to be dependent on the strain tested, regardless of the preservation conditions tested.

AbstractAbstract
Bacterial strains were isolated from biofilms formed on glass slides submerged in seawater in Dae-Ho Dike. Eight strains showing fast attaching ability were selected and identified. Their exopolysaccharide(EPS)-producing ability and EPS properties were characterized. Based on Microlog System, 4 among the 8 strains were identified as Micrococcus luteus and the rest were Bacillus thuringiensis, Bacillus megaterium, Staphylococcus saprophyticus and Agrobacterium vitis. A. vitis was reidentified as Sulfitobacter pontiacus based on 16S rDNA sequence data. The amount of water-soluble EPS produced by the 8 strains ranged from 0.114 to 1.329 g·l^-1 and the productivity was negatively correlated with the cell biomass. The molecular weight of the produced EPS ranged from 0.38 to 25.19x 10^4 Da. Glucose and galactose were ubiquitous sugar components. Mannose, ribose, and xylose were also major sugar components. The molecular weight and composition of the EPS showed strain-specific variation.
