The isolate grew aerobically at 18–37 °C (optimum 28 °C), at pH 6.0–8.0 (optimum pH 7.0) and in the presence of 0–1 % (w/v) NaCl (optimum 0 % NaCl). Phylogenetic analysis based on 16S rRNA gene sequences indicated that strain 17mud1-7T belonged to the genus Adhaeribacter with highest sequence similarity of 96.4 % to Adhaeribacter aerophilus 6424S-25T. The strain showed the typical chemotaxonomic characteristics of the genus Adhaeribacter , with the presence of menaquinone MK-7 as the respiratory quinone, and summed feature 4 (composed of iso-C17 : 1 I/anteiso-C17 : 1 B), iso-C15 : 0 and C16 : 1 ω5c as the major fatty acids are. The polar lipid profile contained two aminophosphoglycolipids, two glycolipids and three unidentified lipids. The DNA G+C content of strain 17mud1-7T was 45.9 mol%. Strain 17mud1-7T should thus be classified as representing a novel species in the genus Adhaeribacter , for which the name Adhaeribacter swui sp. nov. is proposed. The type strain is 17mud1-7T (=KCTC 52873T=NBRC 112824T). %U https://www.microbiologyresearch.org/content/journal/ijsem/10.1099/ijsem.0.002631
