Phylogenetic analysis based on 16S rRNA gene sequences revealed that the two novel isolates were affiliated with the family Halomonadaceae; the two strains shared 100 % sequence similarity, but showed similarities of 94.7 % with the type strain of Modicisalibacter tunisiensis, 93.2–94.7 % with members of the genus Chromohalobacter, 93.2–95.0 % with members of the genus Halomonas and less than 92.0 % with other members of the family Halomonadaceae. However, DNA–DNA relatedness data and phenotypic properties demonstrated that strains YIM 90637T and BH 017 were representatives of the same species. The major fatty acids were C19 : 0 cyclo ω8c and C16 : 0. The relative amount of C19 : 0 cyclo ω8c was notably higher than that found in most species of the family Halomonadaceae for which fatty acid composition has been determined. The genomic DNA G+C content was 57.2–57.5 mol% and the only respiratory quinone was ubiquinone 9. Based on evidence from the polyphasic taxonomic study, it was concluded that the two strains should be classified as representatives of a novel species in a new genus, for which name Aidingimonas halophila gen. nov., sp. nov. is proposed; the type strain of Aidingimonas halophila is YIM 90637T (=KCTC 12885T=CCTCC AB 207002T). %U https://www.microbiologyresearch.org/content/journal/ijsem/10.1099/ijs.0.010264-0
