A yellow-pigmented, Gram-staining-negative, aerobic, non-motile, moderately thermophilic, rod-shaped bacterium, designated strain CC-HSB-11(T), was isolated from a coastal hot spring of Green Island (Lutao), located off Taituang, Taiwan. 16S rRNA gene sequence analysis demonstrated that it shared <94.4% sequence similarity with Muricauda species. Menaquinone with six isoprene units (MK-6) was the major respiratory quinone and iso-C-15:0, iso-C-15:1 G, iso-C-15:0 3-OH, iso-C-16:0 3-OH, iso-C-17:0 3-OH and summed feature 3 (comprising iso-C-15:0 2-OH and/or C-16:1 omega 7c/t) were the predominant fatty acids. The predominant polar lipids were diphosphatidylglycerol, phosphatidylglycerol and phosphatidylethanolamine. Six unidentified phospholipids and glycolipids also occurred as minor components. The DNA G + C content of strain CC-HSB-11(T) was 46.4 +/- 1 mol%. On the basis of 16S rRNA gene sequence similarities with other Muricauda species and differentiating fatty acid compositions and other phenotypic data, strain CC-HSB-11(T) represents a novel species in the genus Muricauda, for which the name Muricauda lutaonensis sp. nov. is proposed. The type strain is CC-HSB-11(T) (=BCRC 17850(T) =KCTC 22339(T)).
