Strain K7-2T contained ubiquinone-10 (Q-10) as the predominant respiratory lipoquinone and did not produce bacteriochlorophyll a. Major fatty acids were C18 : 1 ω7c (51.4 %), iso-C15 : 0 2-OH and/or C16 : 1 ω7c (15.0 %) and C17 : 1 ω6c (8.8 %). Major polar lipids were phosphatidylethanolamine and phosphatidylcholine. The DNA G+C content was 61.6 mol%. Phylogenetic analyses based on 16S rRNA gene sequences revealed that strain K7-2T formed a distinct phylogenetic lineage within the cluster comprising Erythrobacter strains. Similarities between the 16S rRNA gene sequences of strain K7-2T and the type strains of Erythrobacter species ranged from 95.0 % (Erythrobacter litoralis DSM 8509T) to 96.8 % (Erythrobacter citreus RE35F/1T). On the basis of polyphasic taxonomic data, strain K7-2T (=KCTC 22330T=JCM 15420T) is classified in a novel species within the genus Erythrobacter, for which the name Erythrobacter gangjinensis sp. nov. is proposed., UL https://www.microbiologyresearch.org/content/journal/ijsem/10.1099/ijs.0.015743-0
