“…Most species in the family Microbacteriaceae have been isolated from various non-marine environments: soil, freshwater, groundwater, the rhizosphere and phyllosphere of plants, plant pathogens, air and ice samples, ponds in Antarctica and sludge (Dias & Bhat, 1962; Dias et al , 1962; Männistö et al , 2000; Zhang et al , 2008b; Kim & Lee, 2011; Reddy et al , 2003; Sheridan et al , 2003; Schumann et al , 2012). Some members of the family Microbacteriaceae have been isolated from marine environments, such as seawater, sediment, microbial mats, seaweed and seafood: Agrococcus jejuensis (Lee, 2008), Agromyces atrinae (Park et al , 2010), Gulosibacter chungangensis (Park et al , 2012), Labedella gwakjiensis (Lee, 2007), Leifsonia antarctica (Pindi et al , 2009), two species of the genus Leucobacter (Shin et al , 2011; Yun et al , 2011), Marisediminicola antarctica (Li et al , 2010), Phycicola gilvus (Lee et al , 2008), Salinibacterium amurskyense (Han et al , 2003) and 12 species of the genus Microbacterium (Kim et al , 2008, 2011; Kageyama et al , 2007a, b, 2008; Li et al , 2005; Shivaji et al , 2007; Lee et al , 2006; Takeuchi & Hatano 1998; Wu et al , 2008). Here, we describe a bacterial strain CL-TW6 T , isolated from a seawater reservoir of a solar saltern, on the basis of a polyphasic taxonomic approach.…”
