abstract= Two bacterial strains, 2-2-12-1T and 2-2-12-2, were isolated from the estuary of the Jiulong River, south-east China. Cells were Gram-stain-negative, non-motile, short rods without flagella. Growth occurred at 25–45 °C, at pH 5.0–9.0 and with 0.5–2 % (w/v) NaCl. The bacteria were unable to reduce nitrate. The predominant fatty acids were C19 : 0 cyclo ω9c and C18 : 1ω7c. Phylogenetic analysis based on 16S rRNA gene sequences showed that both strains belong to the genus Nitratireductor , family Phyllobacteriaceae , class Alphaproteobacteria . Their closest neighbours were ‘ Nitratireductor lucknowense ’ DSM 24322 (96.3 and 96.5 % similarity, respectively) and Nitratireductor pacificus MCCC 1A01024T (96.2 and 96.3 % similarity, respectively). The DNA G+C contents of the two strains were 56.7 mol%. DNA–DNA hybridization between strain 2-2-12-1T and the two most closely related type strains revealed 57.3 and 52.3 % relatedness, respectively. Evidence from genotypic, chemotaxonomic and phenotypic data indicated that strains 2-2-12-1T and 2-2-12-2 represent a novel species of the genus Nitratireductor , for which the name Nitratireductor aestuarii sp. nov. is proposed. The type strain is 2-2-12-1T (=LMG 29090T=CGMCC 1.15320T).,
