The optimal growth conditions of the strain were 30 °C, pH 7.0, 0 % (w/v) NaCl. Phylogenetic analysis, based on the 16S rRNA gene sequence, revealed that YL28-9T represented a member of the genus Pedobacter and showed the highest sequence similarity to Pedobacter rhizosphaerae KACC 14938T (95.1 %). The genomic DNA G+C content of this strain was 50.4 mol%, which was out of the range reported for the other strains of members of the genus Pedobacter . The only respiratory quinone detected in YL28-9T was menaquinone-7 (MK-7). The predominant cellular fatty acids were identified as iso-C15 : 0, summed feature 3 (C16 : 1ω7c and/or C16 : 1ω6c) and iso-C17 : 0 3-OH. The major polar lipid was phosphatidylethanolamine. On the basis of the results of phenotypic, genotypic, chemotaxonomic and phylogenetic analysis, YL28-9T could be distinguished from the most closely related species of the genus Pedobacter . It is evident from the derived data that YL28-9T represents a novel species of the genus Pedobacter , for which the name Pedobacter yulinensis sp. nov. is proposed. The type strain is YL28-9T (=CGMCC 1.16050T=KCTC 62104T). An emended description of the genus Pedobacter is proposed.", }
