This strain had an absolute requirement for NaCl and was able to grow in the presence of 1–10 % (w/v) NaCl (optimal growth at 3–5 % NaCl). The strain grew at pH 5.0–9.0 (optimal growth at pH 8.0) and 4–42 °C (optimal growth at 30 °C). Phylogenetic analysis based on 16S rRNA gene sequences revealed that strain YCWB25T belonged to the Roseobacter clade of the family Rhodobacteraceae , and the closest species were members of the genus Pseudooceanicola (similarity lower than 95.58 %). However, the novel strain formed a robust, distinct clade different from other members of the Roseobacter clade. The DNA G+C content of strain YCWB25T was 65.6 mol%. The predominant respiratory quinone was Q-10. The dominant cellular fatty acids were C18 : 1ω7c, C16 : 0 and C19 : 0 cyclo ω8c. The phenotypic, chemotaxonomic and phylogenetic data indicated that strain YCWB25T represents a novel species of a new genus, for which the name Salinovum rubellum gen. nov., sp. nov. is proposed. The type strain of Salinovum rubellum is YCWB25T (=MCCC 1K00272T=LMG 25394T)., language=, type=
