The cells were non-motile, aerobic and rod-shaped. The strain grew at 15–37 °C (optimum, 25 °C), at pH 6.0–7.0 (optimum, 6.5) and in the presence of 0–1.5 % (w/v) NaCl. Phylogenetically, the strain was related to members of the genus Spirosoma (93.7–90.7 % 16S rRNA sequence similarities) and showed the highest sequence similarity of 93.7 % to Spirosomapulveris JSH5-14T. The major fatty acids of the strain were summed feature 3 (C16 : 1 ω7c and/or C16 : 1 ω6c), C16 : 1 ω5c and C16 : 0. The predominant menaquinone was MK-7. The polar lipid profile revealed the presence of phosphatidylethanolamine, an unidentified aminolipid, unidentified aminophospholipids and unidentified lipids. The DNA G+C content of the strain was 58.7 mol%. Based on phenotypic, genotypic and chemotaxonomic data, strain TX0406T represents a novel species in the genus Spirosoma , for which the name Spirosoma carri sp. nov. (=KACC 19013T=NBRC 112494T) is proposed. %U https://www.microbiologyresearch.org/content/journal/ijsem/10.1099/ijsem.0.002276
