The isolate grew in medium containing 0.5–10.0 % (w/v) NaCl (optimally at 1.0–3.0 %) at 15–45 °C and pH 5.5–9.5. Positive for oxidase, catalase and nitrate reduction. The respiratory quinone is Q-10. The major fatty acids (>10 %) are iso-C15:0, iso-C17:1ω9c and summed feature 3 (comprising C16:1ω7c and/or iso-C15:0 2-OH). The major polar lipids are phosphatidylethanolamine, one unidentified phospholipid, one unidentified aminolipid, and three unidentified glycolipids.The genomic DNA G+C content is 56.3 mol %. Phylogenetic analysis based on 16S rRNA gene sequences indicated that strain M41T should be assigned to the genus Kordiimonas . The 16S rRNA gene sequence similarities between the isolate and the type strains of species of the genus Kordiimonas with validly published names were in the range 96.2– 98.6 %. Strain M41T exhibited average nucleotide identity (ANI) values of 81.7 and 72.3 % with respect to Kordiimonas. lacus S3-22T and Kordiimonas gwangyangensis JCM 12864T, respectively. The genome-to-genome distance analysis revealed that strain M41T shared 51.4 % DNA–DNA relatedness with K. lacus S3-22T and 16.3 % with K. gwangyangensis JCM 12864T. On the basis of phenotypic and genotypic characteristics, strain M41T represents a novel species of the genus Kordiimonas , for which the name Kordiimonas lipolytica sp. nov. is proposed. The type strain is M41T (=CGMCC 1.15304T=JCM 30877T). An emended description of Kordiimonas lacus is also provided. %U https://www.microbiologyresearch.org/content/journal/ijsem/10.1099/ijsem.0.001007
