Strain W-WS1T grew optimally at 30 °C, at pH 7.0–8.0 and in the presence of 0–3.0 % (w/v) NaCl. Phylogenetic analysis, based on 16S rRNA gene sequences, showed that strain W-WS1T belonged to the genus Pedobacter , clustering coherently with the type strains of Pedobacter daechungensis , Pedobacter lentus , Pedobacter terricola , Pedobacter arcticus and Pedobacter glucosidilyticus , showing 94.3–96.3 % sequence similarity. Strain W-WS1T exhibited 16S rRNA gene sequence similarity values of 91.2–94.0 % to the type strains of other species of the genus Pedobacter . Strain W-WS1T contained MK-7 as the predominant menaquinone and iso-C15 : 0, iso-C17 : 0 3-OH and summed feature 3 (C16 : 1ω7c and/or C16 : 1ω6c) as the major fatty acids. The major polar lipids detected in strain W-WS1T were phosphatidylethanolamine and one unidentified lipid. The DNA G+C content of strain W-WS1T was 37.7 mol%. The differential phenotypic properties, together with its phylogenetic distinctiveness, revealed that strain W-WS1T is separated from recognized species of the genus Pedobacter . On the basis of the data presented, strain W-WS1T is considered to represent a novel species of the genus Pedobacter , for which the name Pedobacter silvilitoris sp. nov. is proposed. The type strain is W-WS1T ( = KCTC 42174T = CECT 8669T)., UL https://www.microbiologyresearch.org/content/journal/ijsem/10.1099/ijs.0.000098
