The bacterium was characterized by a polyphasic approach, including 16S rRNA gene sequence analysis, RNA polymerase β subunit (rpoB) gene sequence analysis, DNA gyrase (gyrB) gene sequence analysis, initiation translation factor 2 (infB) gene sequence analysis, ATP synthase β subunit (atpD) gene sequence analysis, fatty acid methyl ester analysis, determination of DNA G+C content, DNA–DNA hybridization and an analysis of phenotypic features. Strain 10-17T was phylogenetically related to Enterobacter hormaechei CIP 103441T, Enterobacter cancerogenus LMG 2693T, Enterobacter asburiae JCM 6051T, Enterobacter mori LMG 25706T, Enterobacter ludwigii EN-119T and Leclercia adecarboxylata LMG 2803T, having 99.5 %, 99.3 %, 98.7 %, 98.5 %, 98.4 % and 98.4 % 16S rRNA gene sequence similarity, respectively. On the basis of polyphasic characterization data obtained in the present study, a novel species, Enterobacter xiangfangensis sp. nov., is proposed and the type strain is 10-17T ( = LMG 27195T = NCIMB 14836T = CCUG 62994T). Enterobacter sacchari Zhu et al. 2013 was reclassified as Kosakonia sacchari comb. nov. on the basis of 16S rRNA, rpoB, gyrB, infB and atpD gene sequence analysis and the type strain is strain SP1T( = CGMCC 1.12102T = LMG 26783T).", }
