Strain JN14-9T was Gram-stain-negative, non-motile, rod-shaped and orange-pigmented. It can grow at 15–37 °C (optimum 25–30 °C), at pH 7–8 (optimum pH 7) and in 2–6 % (w/v) NaCl (optimum 3–4 %). Phylogenetic analyses based on 16S rRNA gene sequences showed that strain JN14-9T formed an independent lineage related to the family Cytophagaceae with low 16S rRNA gene sequence similarities (<92.5 %) to members of other genera with validly published names. The principal fatty acids of strain JN14-9T were summed feature 3 (C16:1ω6c/C16:1ω7c) and iso-C15:0. The isoprenoid quinone was identified as MK-7. The major polar lipids comprised diphosphatidylglycerol, phosphatidylethanolamine, three aminophospholipids and five unidentified phospholipids. The DNA G+C content was 41.6 mol%. Results of phenotypic, phylogenetic and chemotaxonomic analyses clearly indicate that strain JN14-9T represents a novel species of a new genus within the family Cytophagaceae , for which the name Jiulongibacter sediminis gen. nov., sp. nov. is proposed. The type strain of the type species is JN14-9T (=MCCC 1A00733T=KCTC 42153T). %U https://www.microbiologyresearch.org/content/journal/ijsem/10.1099/ijsem.0.001038
