	abstract = {Strain LLG6346-3.1T, isolated from the thallus of the brown alga Ericaria zosteroides collected from the Mediterranean Sea near Bastia in Corsica, France, was characterised using a polyphasic method. Cells were Gram-stain-negative, strictly aerobic, non-flagellated, motile by gliding, rod-shaped and grew optimally at 30{\textendash}33 {\textdegree}C, at pH 8{\textendash}8.5 and with 4{\textendash}5 \% NaCl. LLG6346-3.1T used the seaweed polysaccharide alginic acid as a sole carbon source which was vigorously liquefied. The results of phylogenetic analyses indicated that the bacterium is affiliated to the genus Zobellia (family Flavobacteriaceae , class Flavobacteriia ). LLG6346-3.1T exhibited 16S rRNA gene sequence similarity values of 98.6 and 98.3 \% to the type strains of Zobellia russellii and Zobellia roscoffensis , respectively, and of 97.4{\textendash}98.5 \% to members of other species of the genus Zobellia . The DNA G+C content of LLG6346-3.1T was determined to be 38.3 mol\%. Digital DNA{\textendash}DNA hybridisation predictions by the average nucleotide identity (ANI) and genome to genome distance calculator (GGDC) methods between LLG6346-3.1T and other members of the genus Zobellia showed values of 76{\textendash}88 \% and below 37 \%, respectively. The results of phenotypic, phylogenetic and genomic analyses indicate that LLG6346-3.1T is distinct from species of the genus Zobellia with validly published names and that it represents a novel species of the genus Zobellia , for which the name Zobellia alginiliquefaciens sp. nov. is proposed. The type strain is LLG6346-3.1T (= RCC7657T = LMG 32918T).},

	abstract = {Four marine bacterial strains were isolated from a thallus of the brown alga Ascophyllum nodosum collected in Roscoff, France.

Phylogenetic analyses of their 16S rRNA gene sequences showed that the bacteria were affiliated to the genus Zobellia (family Flavobacteriaceae, phylum Bacteroidetes). The four strains exhibited 97.8{\textendash}100 \% 16S rRNA gene sequence similarity values among themselves, 97.9{\textendash}99.1 \% to the type strains of Zobellia amurskyensis KMM 3526T and Zobellia laminariae KMM 3676T, and less than 99 \% to other species of the genus Zobellia. The DNA G+C content of the four strains ranged from 36.7 to 37.7 mol\%. Average nucleotide identity and digital DNA{\textendash}DNA hybridization calculations between the new strains and other members of the genus Zobellia resulted in values of 76.4{\textendash}88.9 \% and below 38.5 \%, respectively. Phenotypic, phylogenetic and genomic analyses showed that the four strains are distinct from species of the genus Zobellia with validly published names. They represent two novel species of the genus Zobellia, for which the names Zobellia roscoffensis sp. nov. and Zobellia nedashkovskayae sp. nov. are proposed with Asnod1--F08T (RCC6906T=KMM 6823T=CIP 111902T) and Asnod2--B07--BT (RCC6908T=KMM 6825T=CIP 111904T), respectively, as the type strains.},
