Abstract:A novel Gram-stain-positive, aerobic and motile bacterium, designated strain CY-GT, was isolated from a sponge (Diacarnus spinipoculum) collected from the Red Sea. The strain grew at 13–43 °C (optimum 30 °C), pH 5.5–10.0 (optimum pH 9.0) and with 0–8.0 % (w/v) (0–1.37 M) NaCl (optimum 0 %). The results of phylogenetic analysis based on the 16S rRNA gene sequences indicated that CY-GT represents a member of the genus
