The isolate was chemo-organotrophic, aerobic and Gram-negative. Cells were short rods and motile, with one or more polar flagella. Growth temperature and pH ranged from 4 to 55 °C and 6·5 to 12·0, respectively; the optimum growth temperature and pH were 28–37 °C and 7·0–9·0, respectively. Q-8 was the predominant respiratory lipoquinone. The major fatty acids were C16 : 1 ω7c (42·4 %) and C16 : 0 (28·1 %). The DNA G+C content was 62·4±0·3 mol%. Phylogenetic analysis based on the 16S rRNA gene sequence indicated that strain YIM 31775T should be placed within the family ‘Oxalobacteraceae’, in which it formed a distinct lineage. Based on the high 16S rRNA gene sequence divergence and phenotypic characteristics, it is proposed that strain YIM 31775T should be classified as representing a novel member of the family ‘Oxalobacteraceae’, for which the name Naxibacter alkalitolerans gen. nov., sp. nov. is proposed. The type strain is YIM 31775T (=CCTCC AA 204003T=KCTC 12194T)., UL https://www.microbiologyresearch.org/content/journal/ijsem/10.1099/ijs.0.63407-0
