The strain, designated YIM 70093T (=CCTCC AA 001024T=DSM 44683T), comprised Gram-positive, non-motile, diphtheroid and irregular rods. It grew in 0–25 % KCl (KCl could be substituted by NaCl or MgCl2.6H2O), with optimum growth at 10 % KCl, and its optimal pH and cultivation temperature were 7·2 and 28 °C, respectively. On the basis of its morphological, physiological and phylogenetic characteristics, strain YIM 70093T should be classified in the genus Corynebacterium. However, it is sufficiently different from hitherto described Corynebacterium species to be considered as a novel species, for which the name Corynebacterium halotolerans sp. nov. is proposed.", }
