Cells of strain Haldis-1T were catalase- and oxidase-positive rods with flexirubin pigments. Phylogenetic analysis based on 16S rRNA gene sequences revealed that strain Haldis-1T formed a distinct lineage within the family Cryomorphaceae and could be distinguished from the related genera Lishizhenia and Fluviicola. Strain Haldis-1T shared 16S rRNA gene sequence similarities of 92.5 and 92.4 % with Lishizhenia caseinilytica UST040201-001T and Fluviicola taffensis RW262T, respectively. The DNA G+C content was 38.1 mol% and the major respiratory quinone was MK-7. The predominant cellular fatty acids were iso-C15 : 0 (38.6 %), C15 : 0 2-OH (20.3 %) and C15 : 0 (10.7 %). Growth was observed at 25–42 °C (optimum 30–37 °C) and at pH 6.5–9.5 (optimum pH 6.5–8.0). On the basis of polyphasic analysis of phenotypic, genotypic and phylogenetic data, strain Haldis-1T represents a novel genus and species within the family Cryomorphaceae in the phylum Bacteroidetes, for which the name Wandonia haliotis gen. nov., sp. nov. is proposed. The type strain is Haldis-1T (=KCTC 22610T =NBRC 105642T). %U https://www.microbiologyresearch.org/content/journal/ijsem/10.1099/ijs.0.012674-0
