Phylogenetic analysis, based on 16S rRNA gene sequences, revealed that strain S36T could represent a novel species of genus Altererythrobacter showing highest similarity to Altererythrobacter atlanticus 26DY36T (96.31 % 16S rRNA gene sequence similarity). The temperature, pH and NaCl concentration ranges for growth were 10–37 °C (optimum 32 °C), pH 5.0–10.0 (optimum pH 7.0) and 0.5–3 % (optimum 1 %, w/v), respectively. The predominant respiratory quinone of strain S36T was Q-10. The major fatty acids were C16 : 0, C17 : 1ω6c, C18 : 1ω7c and summed feature 3 (C16 : 1ω7c and/or iso-C15 : 0 2-OH). The G+C content of the genomic DNA was 62.7 mol%. These data all support the affiliation of strain S36T to the genus Altererythrobacter . The polar lipids profile of strain S36T comprised diphosphatidylglycerol, phosphatidylethanolamine, phosphatidylglycerol, two unidentified phospholipids and two unidentified glycolipids. The results of physiological and biochemical tests allowed differentiation of strain S36T from other members of the genus Altererythrobacter . Therefore, strain S36T represents a novel species of the genus Altererythrobacter , for which the name Altererythrobacter xixiisoli sp. nov. is proposed; the type strain is S36T (=CGMCC 1.12804T=NBRC 110413T)., UL https://www.microbiologyresearch.org/content/journal/ijsem/10.1099/ijsem.0.002198
