On the basis of 16S rRNA gene sequence similarity, strain HU1-AH51T was shown to belong to the genus Novosphingobium, showing the highest level of sequence similarity with respect to Novosphingobium resinovorum NCIMB 8767T (96.0 %), Novosphingobium naphthalenivorans TUT562T (96.0 %) and Novosphingobium panipatense SM16T (96.0 %). Strain HU1-AH51T had a genomic DNA G+C content of 62.6 mol% and Q-10 as the predominant respiratory quinone. Furthermore, the major polyamine component (spermidine) in the cytoplasm and the presence of sphingoglycolipids suggested that strain HU1-AH51T belongs to the family Sphingomonadaceae. On the basis of its phenotypic properties and phylogenetic distinctiveness, strain HU1-AH51T represents a novel species of the genus Novosphingobium, for which the name Novosphingobium sediminicola sp. nov. is proposed. The type strain is HU1-AH51T ( = LMG 24320T  = KCTC 22311T). %U https://www.microbiologyresearch.org/content/journal/ijsem/10.1099/ijs.0.024307-0
