Strain K5023T was found to grow at 16–37 °C (optimum, 33 °C), at pH 6.5–8.0 (optimum, 7.0–7.5) and in the presence of 1–10 % (w/v) NaCl (optimum, 5 %). Cells were oxidase-positive and catalase-negative. Phylogenetic analysis based on 16S rRNA gene sequences revealed that strain K5023T is a member of the genus Salegentibacter and exhibited the hightest sequence similarity to Salegentibacter flavus DSM 22702T (97.0 %). Menaquinone-6 (MK-6) was detected as the major respiratory quinone. The dominant cellular fatty acids were iso-C15 : 0 and anteiso-C15 : 0. The DNA G+C content of strain K5023T was 40.1 mol%. The polar lipids included one phosphatidylethanolamine, three phospholipids and four unidentified lipids. Based on the phylogenetic and phenotypic characteristics, strain K5023T is considered to represent a novel species of the genus Salegentibacter , for which the name Salegentibacter sediminis sp. nov. is proposed. The type strain is K5023T (=KCTC 52477T=MCCC 1H00173T).", }
