A Gram-stain-negative, aerobic, non-spore-forming, motile by single polar flagellum and ovoid or rod-shaped bacterial strain, designated JBTF-M23T, was isolated from tidal flat sediment collected from the Yellow Sea, Republic of Korea. Neighbour-joining phylogenetic tree of 16S rRNA gene sequences showed that strain JBTF-M23T fell within the clade comprising the type strains of Pseudoalteromonas species, clustering with the type strains of P. byunsanensis and P. amylolytica. Strain JBTF-M23T exhibited the highest 16S rRNA gene sequence similarity value (98.6%) to the type strain of P. rubra and sequence similarities of 98.3 and 97.7% to the type strains of P. byunsanensis and P. amylolytica, respectively. The DNA G+C content of strain JBTF-M23T from genomic sequence data was 41.98%. The ANI and dDDH values between strain JBTF-M23T and the type strains of P. rubra, P. byunsanensis and P. amylolytica were 71.3–76.6 and 19.4–19.9%, respectively. Strain JBTF-M23T contained Q-8 as the predominant ubiquinone and C16:1 ω7c and/or C16:1 ω6c, C16:0 and C18:1 ω7c as the major fatty acids. The major polar lipids of strain JBTF-M23T were phosphatidylethanolamine and one unidentified aminolipid. Distinguished phenotypic properties, along with the phylogenetic and genetic distinctiveness, revealed that strain JBTF-M23T is separated from recognized Pseudoalteromonas species. On the basis of the data presented, strain JBTF-M23Tis considered to represent a novel species of the genus Pseu-doalteromonas, for which the name Pseudoalteromonas caenipelagi sp. nov. is proposed. The type strain is JBTF-M23T(=KACC 19900T=NBRC 113647T).
