The cells showed oxidase-positive and catalase-positive reactions. Growth occurred at 20–40 °C and pH 6.0–8.0, with optimal growth at 30 °C and pH 7.0. The predominant respiratory quinone was MK-7. The major fatty acids were identified as iso-C15 : 0, iso-C17 : 0 3OH and summed feature 3 (C16 : 1 ω7c and/or C16 : 1 ω6c). The cellular polar lipids contained phosphatidylethanolamine, an unidentified aminophospholipid, two unidentified glycolipids, four unidentified aminolipids and four unidentified lipids. The genomic DNA G+C content was 49.7 mol%. Phylogenetic analysis based on 16S rRNA gene sequences showed that strain X7XT should be affiliated to the genus Flavisolibacter . Results from further analysis showed that strain X7XT had highest 16S rRNA gene sequence similarity to Flavisolibacter metallilatus TX0661T (96.4 %) and ‘ Flavisolibacter swuensis ’ SR2-4-2T (96.4 %), followed by other species of the genus Flavisolibacter . The polyphasic taxonomic characteristics indicated that strain X7XT represents a novel species of the genus Flavisolibacter , for which the name Flavisolibacter nicotianae sp. nov. (type strain X7XT=KCTC 62326T=CGMCC 16451T) is proposed., language=, type=
