abstract= A Gram-negative, moderately halophilic bacterium, designated YIM 91125T, was isolated from a salt lake in Xinjiang province, north-west China. The isolate grew at salinities in the range 1–20 % (w/v) and at 4–45 °C. Optimal growth occurred at 37 °C, pH 7.5 and 5–10 % (w/v) NaCl. Cells were short rods motile by means of single polar flagella. The major fatty acids were C18 : 1 ω7c, C16 : 0, C19 : 0 cyclo ω8c and C12 : 0 3-OH. The DNA G+C content was 60.8 mol%. The predominant respiratory quinone was Q-9. A comparison of 16S rRNA gene sequences revealed its relationship to Halomonas species, its closest neighbours being Halomonas pantelleriensis (95.9 % similarity to the type strain) and Halomonas muralis (95.4 % similarity). On the basis of chemotaxonomic, phylogenetic and phenotypic evidence, strain YIM 91125T represents a novel member of the genus Halomonas, for which the name Halomonas lutea sp. nov. is proposed. The type strain is YIM 91125T (=KCTC 12847T =CCTCC AB 206093T).,
