**Abstract**
A novel, Gram-negative, non-spore-forming, pleomorphic yellow-orange bacterial strain was isolated from a stadium seat. Strain Coronado(T) belongs in the _Erythrobacteraceae_ family based on 16S rRNA phylogenetic analysis, but is both phylogenetically and physiologically distinct from existing genera in the family. Placement within a 16S rRNA tree shows a highly supported clade containing Coronado(T), _Porphyrobacter_, _Erythromicrobium_, and _Erythrobacter_. While this strain has Q-10 as the predominant respiratory lipoquinone, as in other members of the family, the fatty acid profile is distinct. Coronado(T) contains predominatly C18:1ω7cis and C16:0, a high percentage of the latter not being observed in any other _Erythrobacteraceae_. This strain is
both catalase
positive and oxidase
negative which was not negative, the
case latter of which is unusual for the other genera present in the same clade. Coronado(T) can grow from
4-28°C, 4-28°C, at NaCl concentrations from .5-1.5%, and at pH 6.0-8.0. On the basis of phenotypic and phylogenetic data presented in this study, strain Coronado(T) represents a novel species in a new genus in the family _Erythrobacteraceae_ for which the name _Kirrobacter mercurialis_ gen. nov., sp. nov. is proposed; the type strain is Coronado(T) (=DSMZ ???, ATCC ???, NCTC ???)
