The taxonomic position of the misclassified strains [Flexibacter] tractuosus KCTC 2958(T) and sericea' LMG 13021 was studied using a polyphasic approach. The two strains shared 99.1% 16S rRNA gene sequence similarity and 28% DNA DNA relatedness. On the basis of the phylogenetic evidence supported by genotypic and phenotypic data [Flexibacter] tractuosus KCTC 2958T and [Microscilla] sericea' LMG 13021 are classified as two distinct species in a novel genus, Marivirga, in the family 'Flammeovirgaceae', as Marivirga tractuosa comb. nov. and Marivirga sericea nom. rev., comb. nov., with strains KCTC 2958T (=ATCC 23168(T) =CIP 106410(T) =DSM 4126(T) =NBRC 15989(T) =NCIMB 1408(T) =VKM B-1430(T)) and LMG 13021(T) (=ATCC 23182(T) =NBRC 15983(T) =NCIMB 1403(T)), respectively, as the type strains. The type species is Marivirga tractuosa.
