A non-motile, rod-shaped and aerobic marine bacterium, designated strain KYW314^T, was isolated from sea-water collected from the South Sea (Republic of Korea). Cells were Gram-negative, catalase- and oxidase-positive and have a proteolytic activity. The major fatty acids were iso-C15:0 (17.2 %), C16:0 (11.1 %), iso-C17:0 (10.5 %) and C18:17c (10.0 %). The DNA G+C content was 56.4 mol%. A phylogenetic tree based on 16S rRNA gene sequences showed that strain KYW314^T forms a lineage within the genus Pseudidiomarina (95.4-97.3 % sequence similarity) and a distinct branch with the clade comprising Pseudidiomarina taiwanensis PIT1^T and P. sediminum c121^T. The phenotypic characteristics indicate the strain KYW314^T should be distinguished from the members of the genus Pseudidiomarina. On the basis of the data presented in this study, strain KYW314^T represents a novel species, for which the name Pseudidiomarina aestuarii is proposed. The type strain is KYW314^T (= KCTC 22740^T = JCM 16344^T).
