Strain DS-16T grew optimally at pH 6.0–7.0 and 30 °C in the presence of 0.5 % (w/v) NaCl. It contained Q-8 as the predominant ubiquinone and iso-C16 : 0, iso-C15 : 0 and iso-C17 : 1 ω9c as the major fatty acids. The DNA G+C content was 65.1 mol%. Phylogenetic analyses based on 16S rRNA gene sequences showed that strain DS-16T joined the cluster comprising Stenotrophomonas species. The levels of 16S rRNA gene sequence similarity between strain DS-16T and the type strains of Stenotrophomonas species ranged from 95.5 to 97.5 %. DNA–DNA relatedness data and differential phenotypic properties, together with the phylogenetic distinctiveness of strain DS-16T, demonstrated that this novel strain differs from Stenotrophomonas species with validly published names. On the basis of phenotypic, phylogenetic and genetic data, strain DS-16T (=KCTC 12543T=CIP 108839T) should be classified in the genus Stenotrophomonas as a member of a novel species, for which the name Stenotrophomonas dokdonensis sp. nov. is proposed., UL https://www.microbiologyresearch.org/content/journal/ijsem/10.1099/ijs.0.64091-0
