Strain YC6898T grew optimally at 30–37 °C and pH 6.5–7.5. The strain inhibited mycelial growth of Pythium ultimum and Phytophthora capsici. Phylogenetic analyses based on 16S rRNA gene sequences indicated that strain YC6898T belongs to the genus Hoeflea in the family Phyllobacteriaceae . Its closest relatives were Hoeflea alexandrii AM1V30T (96.7 % 16S rRNA gene sequence similarity), Hoeflea anabaenae WH2KT (95.7 %), Hoeflea phototrophica DFL-43T (95.5 %) and Hoeflea marina LMG 128T (94.8 %). Strain YC6898T contained Q-10 as the major ubiquinone. The major fatty acids of strain YC6898T were C18 : 1ω7c (61.1 %), C16 : 0 (11.9 %), 11-methyl C18 : 1ω7c (9.6 %) and C19 : 0 cyclo ω8c (8.0 %). The polar lipids were phosphatidylcholine, phosphatidylethanolamine, phosphatidylmonomethylethanolamine, phosphatidylglycerol, unknown lipids and an unknown glycolipid. The total genomic DNA G+C content was 53.7 mol%. On the basis of phenotypic, chemotaxonomic and phylogenetic analysis, strain YC6898T represents a novel species of the genus Hoeflea , for which the name Hoeflea suaedae sp. nov. is proposed. The type strain is YC6898T ( = KACC 14911T = NBRC 107700T). %U https://www.microbiologyresearch.org/content/journal/ijsem/10.1099/ijs.0.045484-0
