The major cellular fatty acids (>10 %) were iso-C16 : 0, iso-C15 : 0, C16 : 1ω7c alcohol and iso-C17 : 1ω9c. The major polar lipids were diphosphatidylglycerol, phosphatidylglycerol and phosphatidylethanolamine. The major respiratory quinone was Q-8. The genomic DNA G+C content was 70.5 mol%. Phylogenetic analysis based on 16S rRNA gene sequences revealed that strain CF5-1T was most closely related to Arenimonas malthae (95.3 % gene sequence similarity), Arenimonas oryziterrae (94.7 %), Arenimonas donghaensis (94.6 %) and Arenimonas composti (94.5 %). A taxonomic study using a polyphasic approach showed that strain CF5-1T represents a novel species of the genus Arenimonas , for which the name Arenimonas metalli sp. nov. is proposed. The type strain is CF5-1T ( = CGMCC 1.10787T = KCTC 23460T = CCTCC AB 2010449T).", }
