Phylogenetic analysis based on 16S rRNA gene sequences indicated that strain XH208T belonged to the genus Luteococcus and showed the highest 16S rRNA gene sequence similarities with Luteococcus peritonei CCUG 38120T (96.9 %), Luteococcus japonicus DSM 10546T (95.4 %) and Luteococcus sanguinis CCUG 33897T (95.2 %). The DNA G+C content of strain XH208T was 66.9 mol%. The cell wall of strain XH208T possessed a type A3γ peptidoglycan (ll-diaminopimelic acid–glycine), and ribose, glucose and galactose as the major whole-cell sugars. The major fatty acids were C17 : 1ω8c, C17 : 1ω6c, and C16 : 1ω6c and/or C16 : 1ω7c (summed feature 3). The major respiratory quinone was menaquinone MK-9(H4). The major polar lipids were phosphatidylglycerol, diphosphatidylglycerol and phosphatidylinositol. On the basis of data from the polyphasic analysis, strain XH208T is considered to represent a novel species in the genus Luteococcus , for which the name Luteococcus sediminum sp. nov. is proposed. The type strain is XH208T ( = DSM 27277T = JCM 19259T). %U https://www.microbiologyresearch.org/content/journal/ijsem/10.1099/ijs.0.058529-0
