The strain grew at 4–35 °C and with 0.5–7.0 % (w/v) NaCl. It hydrolysed aesculin but didn’t reduce nitrate to nitrite. Phylogenetic analysis based on 16S rRNA gene sequences revealed that strain SM1355T formed a distinct phylogenetic lineage within the family Flavobacteriaceae , sharing the highest 16S rRNA gene sequence similarity with Flaviramulus ichthyoenteri (96.3 %) and fairly high sequence similarities (95.0–96.0 %) with over 20 recognized species in eight genera of the family Flavobacteriaceae . The predominant fatty acids were anteiso-C15 : 0, iso-C15 : 0 and iso-C15 : 1 G. The major polar lipids were phosphatidylethanolamine and one unidentified lipid. The genomic DNA G+C content of strain SM1355T was 36.2 mol%. Based on the results of the polyphasic characterization for strain SM1355T, it is identified as the representative of a novel species in a new genus of the family Flavobacteriaceae , for which the name Changchengzhania lutea gen. nov., sp. nov. is proposed. The type strain of Changchengzhania lutea is SM1355T (=JCM 30336T=CCTCC AB 2014246T)., UL https://www.microbiologyresearch.org/content/journal/ijsem/10.1099/ijsem.0.002439
