X49T was an obligately aerobic, Gram-stain-negative, motile, oval or rod-shaped (0.5–1.0×1.2–3.2 µm) bacterium. After 2 days of growth, colonies on Marine agar medium were orange and circular with entire margins. X49T growth was detected at 10–37 °C and pH 4.5–8.5 in the presence of 0–26 % (w/v) NaCl. The 16S rRNA gene sequence of strain X49T was most similar to that of the type strain of Kushneria marisflavi SW32T and shared a sequence similarity of 94.7–98.6 % with type strains of species of the genus Kushneria . The predominant fatty acids were C16 : 0, C18 : 1ω7c and C12 : 0 3OH. The major isoprenoid quinone was Q9 (93 %), and minor quinones were Q8 (4 %) and Q10 (3 %). The polar lipids were diphosphatidylglycerol, phosphatidylglycerol, phosphatidylethanolamine and phosphatidylserine, two unidentified aminolipids, two unidentified phospholipids and two unidentified lipids. The genomic DNA G+C content was 59.1 mol%. The level of the ANI value between strain X49T and K. marisflavi SW32T, the most closely related species of the genus Kushneria , was 89.32 %. Based on the low ANI value, strain X49T and its reference strains represent genotypically distinct species. Based on this polyphasic taxonomic analysis, strain X49T represents a novel species of the genus Kushneria . The name Kushneria konosiri sp. nov. is proposed and the type strain is X49T (=KACC 14623T=JCM 16805T)., language=, type=
