Cells of the isolate were Gram-negative, non-motile, rod-shaped and aerobic. MK-7 was the predominant respiratory menaquinone. The DNA G+C content was 46.3 mol%. A phylogenetic analysis based on 16S rRNA gene sequences showed that the isolate was most closely related to the members of the genus Dyadobacter, with similarities ranging from 94.7 to 96.6 %. Therefore, on the basis of genotypic and phenotypic data, strain 12116T represents a novel species of the genus Dyadobacter, for which the name Dyadobacter alkalitolerans sp. nov. is proposed. The type strain is 12116T (=CCTCC AB 207176T =NRRL B-51268T)., UL https://www.microbiologyresearch.org/content/journal/ijsem/10.1099/ijs.0.001404-0
