N2 - A Gram-negative, non-motile, non-gliding, strictly aerobic, pale yellow colony-forming, rod-shaped bacterial strain, designated HM0024T, was isolated from coastal seawater of the Yellow Sea and subjected to a polyphasic taxonomy study. Based on 16S rRNA gene sequence similarities, strain HM0024 T was most closely related to Chryseobacterium balustinum LMG 8329T (94.4 %), Chryseobacterium scophthalmum LMG 13028T (94.4 %), Chryseobacterium piscium LMG 23089T (94.3 %) and Elizabethkingia meningoseptica ATCC 13253T (94.0 %) and shared less than 92% sequence similarity with other members of the family Flavobacteriaceae. Phylogenetic analyses showed that strain HM0024T formed an independent phyletic line of descent within the family Flavobacteriaceae. The DNA G+C content of the strain was 29.6 mol% and its major cellular fatty acids (>10 %) were iso-C15:0, iso-C17:0 3-OH, iso-C 17:1ω7c and summed feature 3 (C16:1ω6c and/or C16:1ω7c). The major isoprenoid quinone was MK-6 and the major polar lipids were phosphatidylethanolamine and several aminolipids. Strain HM0024T was differentiated from phylogenetically related members of the family by having lower DNA G+C content, larger proportions of summed feature 3, anteiso-C15:0 and iso-C16:0 3-OH and particular phenotypic characteristics. On the basis of phenotypic and phylogenetic data, strain HM0024T is classified as a representative of a novel genus and species, for which the name Soonwooa buanensis gen. nov., sp. nov. is proposed. The type strain of Soonwooa buanensis is HM0024T (=KCTC 22689 T =CECT 7503T).
