All isolates were moderately halophilic and were able to grow at NaCl concentrations up to 15 or 20 % (w/v). The genomic DNA G+C contents of the strains ranged from 69.1 to 70.1 mol%. Based on the results of 16S rRNA gene sequence analysis, DNA–DNA relatedness, phenotypic characteristics and chemotaxonomic data, the isolates are proposed to represent four novel species of the genus Prauserella for which the names Prauserella salsuginis sp. nov. (type strain YIM 90625T=CCTCC AA 208051T=DSM 45264T), Prauserella flava sp. nov. (type strain YIM 90630T=CCTCC AA 208052T=DSM 45265T), Prauserella aidingensis sp. nov. (type strain YIM 90636T=CCTCC AA 208053T=DSM 45266T) and Prauserella sediminis sp. nov. (type strain YIM 90694T=CCTCC AA 208054T=DSM 45267T).", }
