Abstract
A new species of Gram-negative halophilic cartenoid producing bacterium was isolated from the Haeundae Coast, Korea. This strain is non-motile, aerobic, orange-pigmented, rod-shaped, and produced carotenoids, mainly astaxanthin. All the type strains of the genus Paracoccus were compared with this strain using 16S rDNA sequence analysis, fatty acid patterns, and physiological reaction profiles. From the results obtained, this strain is classified as a new species, Paracoccus sp..
