Phylogenetic analysis based on 16S rRNA gene sequences showed that the strain was related to members of the genera Antarctobacter, Sagittula, Oceanicola and Loktanella; levels of similarity between strain JLT354-W(T) and members of the above genera were less than 92.0%. The predominant fatty acid of strain JLT354-W(T) was C(18:1)omega 7c (83.1 %); significant amounts of C(18:0) (7.9%) and C(12:1) 3-OH (3.7%) were also present. The predominant respiratory ubiquinone was Q-10. The DNA G+C content of strain JLT354-WT was 63.7 mol%. The isolate was distinguishable from members of the order Rhodobacterales based on phenotypic and biochemical characteristics. On the basis of the taxonomic data presented, strain JLT354-W(T) is considered to represent a novel species of a new genus, for which the name Mamefiella alba gen. nov., sp. nov. is proposed. The type strain of Mameliella alba is JLT354-W(T) (=LMG 24665(T)=CGMCC 1.7290(T)).
