JF International Journal of Systematic and Evolutionary Microbiology, VO 66 IS 12 SP 5252 OP 5259 DO https://doi.org/10.1099/ijsem.0.001504 PB Microbiology Society, SN 1466-5034, AB A Gram-stain-positive, short-rod, aerobic bacterium, designated as strain LAM9155T, was isolated from saline soil sample collected from Lingxian County, Shandong Province, PR China. The strain grew optimally at 25–30 °C, pH 7.0 and 0.5 % (w/v) NaCl. The 16S rRNA gene sequence analysis revealed that strain LAM9155T belonged to the genus Frigoribacterium and was closely related to Frigoribacterium endophyticum EGI 6500707T (99.4 %), Frigoribacterium faeni 801T (98.6 %) and Frigoribacterium mesophilum MSL-08T (96.2 %). The DNA–DNA hybridization values between strain LAM9155T and F. endophyticum JCM 30093T and between strain LAM9155T and F. faeni DSM 10309T were 40.2±2.1 and 32.8±1.6 %, respectively. The major fatty acids of LAM9155T were anteiso-C15 : 0, anteiso-C17 : 0 and iso-C16 : 0. The cell-wall analysis showed the B-type peptidoglycan containing alanine, glutamate, glycine, serine and lysine and that the cell wall contained the sugars galactose and ribose. The genomic DNA G+C content of strain LAM9155T was 68.2 mol%. The predominant menaquinone was MK-9. The main polar lipids were diphosphatidylglycerol, phosphatidylglycerol, one unknown glycolipid and four unknown lipids. Based on the DNA–DNA hybridization and phenotypic, phylogenetic and chemotaxonomic properties, strain LAM9155T could be distinguished from the recognized species of the genus Frigoribacterium and was suggested to represent a novel species, for which the name Frigoribacterium salinisoli sp. nov. is proposed. The type strain is LAM9155T (=ACCC 19902T=JCM 30848T). Moreover, the transfer of F . mesophilum Dastager et al. 2008 to Parafrigoribacterium gen. nov. as Parafrigoribacterium mesophilum comb. nov. (type strain MSL-08T=DSM 19442T=KCTC 19311T) is also proposed., UL https://www.microbiologyresearch.org/content/journal/ijsem/10.1099/ijsem.0.001504
