Strain SN6-9T was Gram-stain-negative, motile, oxidase- and catalase-negative, yellow-pigmented and rod-shaped. It contained summed feature 3 (C16 : 1ω7c and/or C16 : 1ω6c) and summed feature 8 (C18 : 1ω7c and/or C18 : 1ω6c) as the major fatty acids, Q-10 as the predominant isoprenoid quinone, sym-homospermidine as the major polyamine and diphosphatidylglycerol, phosphatidylglycerol, phosphatidylethanolamine, phosphatidylcholine, sphingoglycolipid and two unidentified phospholipids as the polar lipids. The DNA G+C content was 64.1 mol%. Phylogenetic analysis based on 16S rRNA gene sequences revealed that the strain formed a separate lineage in the genus Sphingomonas . Based on the results from this polyphasic taxonomic study, it is concluded that strain SN6-9T represents a novel species in the genus Sphingomonas . The name Sphingomonas gotjawalisoli sp. nov. is proposed; the type strain is SN6-9T (=KCTC 52405T=NRRL B-65395T)., UL https://www.microbiologyresearch.org/content/journal/ijsem/10.1099/ijsem.0.002061
