Cells were Gram-stain-negative, aerobic, non-motile and rod-shaped. Strain ZY74T produced round, yellow-pigmented, smooth and opaque colonies. Based on the results of 16S rRNA gene sequence analysis, strain ZY74T was found to be affiliated with members of the genus Chitinophaga . Its closest members were Chitinophagabarathri YLT18T (97.72 %) and Chitinophaganiabensis JS13-10T (97.17 %). The genome size of strain ZY74T was 6.61 Mb, containing 5351 predicted protein-coding genes, with a DNA G+C content of 55.0 mol%. The average nucleotide identity values of strain ZY74T with C. barathri YLT18T and C. niabensis DSM 24787T were 76.12 and 73.32 %, respectively. The digital DNA–DNA hybridization values of strain ZY74T with C. barathri YLT18T and C. niabensis JS13-10T were 20.60 and 19.40 %, respectively. The major respiratory quinone was menaquinone 7 and the predominant fatty acids (>5 %) were iso-C15:0, C16 : 1ω5c and iso-C17 : 03-OH. On the basis of phylogenetic, genotypic, phenotypic and chemotaxonomic characterization, strain ZY74T represents a novel species in the genus Chitinophaga , for which the name Chitinophaga lutea sp. nov. is proposed. The type strain is ZY74T (=CCTCC AB2018369T=KCTC 72039T)., language=, type=
