A Gram-reaction-negative, aerobic, yellowish orange-color pigmented bacterial strain, designated JC2436T, was isolated from tidal flat sediment of Oi Island in Korea. Comparative 16S rRNA gene sequence analysis indicated its close affiliation to Vitellibacter vladivostokensis, with 96% sequence similarity. Cells grew with 2-6% NaCl and at 10-41 °C. Orange-color flexirubin pigments were present. The major isoprenoid quinone was MK-6, the DNA G+C content was 48.7 mol% and the predominant fatty acids (>10%) were iso-C15:0 and iso-C17:0 3-OH. The polyphasic data presented in this study support the classification of this isolate as a novel species in the genus Vitellibacter, for which the name Vitellibacter aestuarii sp. nov. is proposed (type strain JC2436T = IMSNU 14137T = KACC 13727T = KCTC 22361T = JCM 15496T).
