Strain YC7378T grew optimally at 30 °C and at pH 6.5–8.5. Phylogenetic analysis based on 16S rRNA gene sequences indicated that strain YC7378T belongs to the genus Sphingosinicella in the family Sphingomonadaceae. The most closely related strains are Sphingosinicella soli KSL-125T (95.7 %), Sphingosinicella xenopeptidilytica 3-2W4T (95.6 %) and Sphingosinicella microcystinivorans Y2T (95.5 %). Strain YC7378T contained ubiquinone Q-10 as the major respiratory quinone system and sym-homospermidine as the major polyamine. The major fatty acids of strain YC7378T were C18 : 1 ω7c, C16 : 1 ω7c and/or iso-C15 : 0 2-OH, C14 : 0 2-OH and C16 : 0. The major polar lipids were sphingoglycolipid, diphosphatidylglycerol, phosphatidylglycerol and phosphatidylethanolamine. The total DNA G+C content was 59.4 mol%. The phenotypic, phylogenetic and chemotaxonomic data showed that strain YC7378T represents a novel species of the genus Sphingosinicella, for which the name Sphingosinicella vermicomposti sp. nov. is proposed. The type strain is YC7378T (=KCTC 22446T =DSM 21593T). %U https://www.microbiologyresearch.org/content/journal/ijsem/10.1099/ijs.0.010777-0
