Cells of strain LSN-49T were Gram-staining-negative, aerobic, poly-β-hydroxybutyrate accumulating, motile by means of a monopolar flagellum, non-spore forming, straight rods and formed shiny and translucent colonies. Growth occurred at 20–40 °C (optimum, 25–30 °C), at pH 6–10 (optimum, pH 7–8) and with 0–3 % (w/v) NaCl [optimum, 0–1 % (w/v)]. The predominant fatty acids were summed feature 3 (comprising C16 : 1ω7c and/or C16 : 1ω6c), C17 : 1ω8c and C16 : 0. The polar lipid profile consisted of a mixture of phosphatidylethanolamine (PE), phosphatidylglycerol (PG), phosphatidylcholine, (PC), two uncharacterized aminophospholipids (APL1 and APL2), one uncharacterized glycolipid (GL1), four uncharacterized phospholipids (PL1–PL4) and four uncharacterized lipids (L1–L4). The major polyamine was putrescine. The major isoprenoid quinone was Q-8 and the DNA G+C content was 51.0 mol%. The results of phylogenetic analyses based on 16S rRNA gene sequences indicated that LSN-49T formed a distinct lineage with respect to closely related genera in the family Pseudoalteromonadaceae . LSN-49T was most closely related to Pseudoalteromonas , Algicola and Psychrosphaera and showed 89.3–92.1 % sequence similarity with members of the family Pseudoalteromonadaceae with validly published names. On the basis of the genotypic and phenotypic data, LSN-49T represents a novel genus and species of the family Pseudoalteromonadaceae , for which the name Salsuginimonas clara gen. nov., sp. nov. is proposed. The type strain is LSN-49T (=BCRC 81005T=LMG 29726T=KCTC 52439T). %U https://www.microbiologyresearch.org/content/journal/ijsem/10.1099/ijsem.0.002371
