Cells of strain 9583bT were Gram-stain-positive, aerobic, catalase-positive and oxidase-negative. The strain have a short rod-shaped, irregular morphology, and could grow at the temperature range of 4 to 28 °C. Phylogenetic analysis based on 16S rRNA gene sequences revealed that strain 9583bT belonged to the genus Subtercola in the family Microbacteriaceae , and shared highest sequence similarity with the type strains of Subtercola frigoramans and Subtercola boreus (96.8 and 95.6 %, respectively). The peptidoglycan type was B2γ, with diaminobutyric acid as the diagnostic diamino acid. The polar lipids comprised of phosphatidylglycerol, diphosphatidylglycerol, five unidentified glycolipids and three unidentified phospholipids. The respiratory quinone was determined to be MK-10. While the major fatty acids (>5 %) of strain 9583bT were anteiso-C15 : 0, C14 : 0 2-OH and iso-C16 : 0, the 1,1-dimethoxy-alkanes included a-15 : 0 DMA, i-16 : 0 DMA, a-17 : 0 DMA and i-15 : 0 DMA. The genomic DNA G+C content of strain 9583bT was 66.8 mol%. On the basis of the phylogenetic, phenotypic and chemotaxonomic data in this study, strain 9583bT represents a novel species of the genus S ubtercola , for which the name Subtercola lobariae sp. nov. is proposed. The type strain is 9583bT (=CGMCC 1.12976T=DSM 103962T)., language=, type=
