Growth was observed at temperatures from 15 to 37 °C (optimum 30 °C), at salinities from 0 to 4 % (optimum 0.5–2 %) and at pH from 6 to 8 (optimum 7). Phylogenetic analysis based on 16S rRNA gene sequence revealed that strain C9-11T was a member of the genus Altererythrobacter . Strain C9-11T was related most closely to Altererythrobacter oceanensis Y2T (96.8 % 16S rRNA gene sequence similarity), followed by Altererythrobacter marinus H32T (96.5 %). The G+C content of the genomic DNA was 63.5 mol%. The dominant fatty acids were C18 : 1ω7c (41.6 %), C17 : 1ω6c (15.4 %), 11-methyl C18 : 1ω7c (8.1 %), summed feature 3 (comprising C16 : 1ω7c and/or C16 : 1ω6c 7.4 %) and C16 : 0 (6.2 %). The predominant respiratory quinone was ubiquinone-10 and the major polar lipids were diphosphatidylglycerol, phosphatidylcholine, phosphatidylethanolamine, phosphatidylglycerol and sphingoglycolipid. According to its morphology, physiology, fatty acid composition and 16S rRNA gene sequence analysis, strain C9-11Tbelongs to genus Altererythrobacte r, but can readily be distinguished from recognized species. Strain C9-11T is proposed as the type strain of a novel species of the genus Altererythrobacte r, for which the name Altererythrobacter mangrovi sp. nov (=MCCC 1K03311T=JCM 32056T) is proposed. %U https://www.microbiologyresearch.org/content/journal/ijsem/10.1099/ijsem.0.002393
