Strain RIB1-6T was aerobic, Gram-negative, rod-shaped, non-motile and non-spore-forming. Growth occurred at 10–37 °C, at pH 7–8 and with 0–1 % (w/v) NaCl. Phylogenetic analyses based on 16S rRNA gene sequences showed that strain RIB1-6T belonged to the genus Terrimonas and its two closest neighbours were Terrimonas ferruginea ATCC 13524T and Terrimonas lutea DYT (16S rRNA gene sequence similarity 97.4 % and 93.5 %, respectively). Strain RIB1-6T contained iso-C15 : 0 (33.4 %), iso-C17 : 0 3-OH (18.2 %), summed feature 3 (iso-C15 : 0 2-OH and/or C16 : 1 ω7c; 14.7 %) and iso-C15 : 1 (11.5 %) as the predominant fatty acids. The major isoprenoid quinone was MK-7. The DNA G+C content of strain RIB1-6T was 47.3 mol%. On the basis of the genotypic and phenotypic data, strain RIB1-6T represents a novel species in the genus Terrimonas, for which the name Terrimonas aquatica sp. nov. is proposed. The type strain is RIB1-6T (=BCRC 17941T=LMG 24825T). %U https://www.microbiologyresearch.org/content/journal/ijsem/10.1099/ijs.0.020164-0
