Three Gram-negative, motile, aerobic bacteria were isolated from cultures of the marine red alga @entity34307 . Phylogenetic analysis based on 16S rRNA gene sequences revealed that the novel strains were closely related to Maritalea myrionectae CL-SK30(T) (97.9% 16S rRNA gene sequence similarity) and Zhangella mobilis E6(T) (96.2%). 16S rRNA gene sequence similarity between @entity15548 E6(T) and M. myrionectae CL-SK30(T) was 97.9%. The DNA G+C contents of the isolates (49.4-50.0 mol%) were similar to those of M. myrionectae DSM 19524(T) (52.3 mol%) and @entity15548 JCM 15144(T) (50.3 mol%). From these results, it was @entity4998 from the genus Maritalea. DNA-DNA hybridization demonstrated that the isolates belonged to a single species. The isolates could also be distinguished from M. myrionectae and @entity15548 on the basis of chemotaxonomic and phenotypic features, including @entity844 composition (particularly C(16:1)  7c), growth with 6-9% (w/v) @entity1219 , @entity505 utilization, oxidation patterns and so on. A novel species of the genus Maritalea is proposed to accommodate the three isolates, with the name Maritalea porphyrae sp. nov. The type strain is LCM-3(T) (=LMG 25872(T)=NBRC 107169(T)). Furthermore, it is proposed that Zhangella mobilis should be transferred from the genus Zhangella to the genus Maritalea, with the name Maritalea mobilis comb. nov. (type strain E6(T)=CGMCC 1.7002(T)=JCM 15144(T)).
