ZQBWT grew well at pH 6.0–12.0 (optimum, pH 7.0), 26–35 °C (optimum, 30 °C) and up to 0.5 % NaCl (optimally the absence of NaCl) in R2A broth. The major fatty acids of ZQBWT were C18 : 1ω7c (82.7 %) and C18 : 0 (5.3 %). The polar lipid profile included the major compounds phophatidylcholine, phosphatidylglycerol and phosphatidylmethylethanolamine. The only respiratory quinone was ubiquinone Q-10. The G+C content of genomic DNA was 67.0 mol%. Comparisons with 16S rRNA gene sequences revealed that ZQBWT has the highest sequence similarities with members of the genus Tabrizicola (≤95.97 %), followed by Rhodobacter (≤95.96 %) and Falsirhodobacter (95.95 %) which all belong to the family Rhodobacteraceae in the phylum Proteobacteria . Photosynthesis genes pufLM were not found and photosynthesis pigments were not formed in ZQBWT. On the basis of the results from chemotaxonomic, phenotypic and phylogenetic analysis, ZQBWT represents a novel species of a novel genus, for which the name Xinfangfangia soli gen. nov., sp. nov. is proposed. The type strain is ZQBWT (=KCTC 62102T=CCTCC AB 2017177T)., language=, type=
