It could grow at temperatures from 10 to 33 °C (optimum of 28–30 °C), in the pH range of 6.0–10.0 (optimum of pH 7.0) and without NaCl. 16S rRNA gene sequence analysis showed that strain 5GH18-14T showed the highest sequence similarities with Lysobacter niabensis GH34-4T (98.6 %), Lysobacter yangpyeongensis GH19-3T (98.1 %), ‘Lysobacter fragariae’ THG-DN8.7 (97.9 %), Lysobacter terrae THG-A13T (97.3 %), ‘Lysobacter rhizosphaerae’ THG-DN8.3 (97.2 %), ‘Lysobacter tyrosinelyticus’ THG-DN8.2 (97.2 %) and Lysobacter oryzae YC6269T (97.2 %), revealing less than 95.5 % sequence similarities with all other species with validly published names. Phylogenetic trees also indicated that strain 5GH18-14T formed a compact subcluster with L. niabensis GH34-4T, L. yangpyeongensis GH19-3T, L. terrae THG-A13T and L. oryzae YC6269T within the genus Lysobacter. The predominant quinone of strain 5GH18-14T was Q-8. The polar lipids were phosphatidylethanolamine, diphosphatidylglycerol, phosphatidylglycerol and phosphatidylmonomethylethanolamine in large amounts, and moderate or small amounts of three unknown phospholipids and two unknown aminophospholipids. DNA–DNA hybridization values with closely related species were below 70 %. The DNA G+C content was 65.9 mol%. Based on the phylogenetic, physiological and chemotaxonomic data, it has been demonstrated that strain 5GH18-14T represents a novel species of the genus Lysobacter, for which the name Lysobacter terricola sp. nov. is proposed. The type strain is 5GH18-14T ( = KACC 16954T = JCM 30862T)., UL https://www.microbiologyresearch.org/content/journal/ijsem/10.1099/ijsem.0.000893
