The isolate was a Gram-negative, aerobic, non-motile, non-spore-forming rod. Phylogenetic analysis based on 16S rRNA gene sequences showed that strain LnR5-47T belonged to the genus Rhodanobacter. The isolate was most closely related to Rhodanobacter ginsengisoli GR17-7T, Rhodanobacter terrae GP18-1T, Dyella ginsengisoli Gsoil 3046T, Rhodanobacter soli DCY45T, Dyella soli JS12-10T and Dyella japonica IAM 15069T (98.0, 97.9, 97.7, 97.3, 97.2 and 97.1 % 16S rRNA gene sequence similarity, respectively). Chemotaxonomic data (Q-8 as the predominant ubiquinone, and iso-C16 : 0, iso-C17 : 1ω9c and iso-C15 : 0 as the major fatty acids) also supported the affiliation of strain LnR5-47T with the genus Rhodanobacter. However, DNA–DNA relatedness between strain LnR5-47T and its closest phylogenetic neighbours was <25.8 %. Moreover, physiological and biochemical tests phenotypically differentiated the isolate from other members of the genus Rhodanobacter. Therefore, strain LnR5-47T represents a novel species, for which the name Rhodanobacter panaciterrae sp. nov. is proposed; the type strain is LnR5-47T ( = KACC 12826T = KCTC 22232T = LMG 24460T)., UL https://www.microbiologyresearch.org/content/journal/ijsem/10.1099/ijs.0.025718-0
