Strain DK6-66T was found to grow optimally at pH 7.0 and 22 °C. The 16S rRNA gene sequence analysis indicated that strain DK6-66T belonged to the genus Hymenobacter and clustered with the type strain of Hymenobacter arcticus , with which it exhibited a 16S rRNA gene sequence similarity value of 98.2 %. The DNA G+C content was 60.4 mol%. The major respiratory quinone was MK-7 and the major polar lipid was phosphatidylethanolamine. The major fatty acids were C16 : 1ω7c and/or C16 : 1ω6c, anteiso-C17 : 1 B and/or iso-C17 : 1 I, iso-C15 : 0, anteiso-C15 : 0 and C16 : 1ω5c. On the basis of phylogenetic and phenotypic data, strain DK6-66T was classified in the genus Hymenobacter as a member of a novel species, for which the name Hymenobacter bucti sp. nov. is proposed. The type strain is DK6-66T (=CGMCC 1.15795T=KCTC 52629T)., UL https://www.microbiologyresearch.org/content/journal/ijsem/10.1099/ijsem.0.002866
