Abstract: 

The isolation of a new Fe(III)-reducing organism from a Mediterranean marine sediment at the coast of Mallorca (Spain) is described. Comparative 16S rRNA data analysis showed that the new isolate is a member of the gamma subclass of Proteobacteria and indicated a potential moderate phylogenetic affiliation to Shewanella species, Vibrio marinus and Alteromonas haloplanktis. Fe(III)-reduction was first described for members of the latter group. The low level of relatedness of the isolate to its closest relatives justifies the proposal of a new genus and species, namely Ferrimonas balearica gen. nov. spec. nov..
