The cells were obligately aerobic and rod-shaped. The strain grew at 10–40 °C (optimum, 20 °C), at pH 5–8 (optimum, 7), and in the presence of 0–1.5 % (w/v) NaCl. Phylogenetically, the strain was closely related to members of the genus Mucilaginibacter (93.4–97.0 % 16S rRNA sequence similarities) and showed a high sequence similarity with Mucilaginibacter litoreus BR-18T, Mucilaginibacter lutimaris BR-3T and Mucilaginibacter soli R9-65T (97.0 %, 96.9 % and 96.9 % 16S rRNA sequence similarity, respectively). It contained summed feature 3 (C16 : 1ω7c and/or C16 : 1ω6c), C16 : 0, iso-C17 : 0 3-OH and C16 : 0 as the predominant fatty acids and MK-7 as the major menaquinone. The polar lipids were phosphatidylethanolamine, one unknown aminophospholipid, two unknown aminolipids and two unknown polar lipids. The DNA G+C content of this strain was 47.4 mol%. Based on the phenotypic, genotypic and chemotaxonomic data, strain PR0008KT represents a novel species in the genus Mucilaginibacter, for which the name Mucilaginibacter carri sp. nov. ( = KACC 17938T = NBRC 111539T) is proposed.", }
