They were facultatively anaerobic, non-motile and non-spore-forming bacteria. These strains produced l-lactic acid from glucose. They grew at pH 5.0–9.0, at 15–40 °C and in the presence of 10 % (w/v) NaCl. The dominant fatty acid was C18 : 1ω9c. The DNA G+C contents of strains C01T and C02 were 38.6 and 38.7 mol%, respectively. Strain C01T was related most closely to Desemzia incerta DSM 20581T, with a 16S rRNA gene sequence similarity of 96.9 %. The strains could be distinguished clearly from D. incerta DSM 20581T based on cell morphology, physiological and biochemical characteristics and low levels of DNA–DNA relatedness. On the basis of the data presented, strains C01T and C02 are considered to represent a novel species of a new genus in the Bacillus–Lactobacillus cluster, for which the name Pisciglobus halotolerans gen. nov., sp. nov. is proposed. The type strain of Pisciglobus halotolerans is C01T ( = KCTC 13150T  = TISTR 1958T  = PCU 316T).", }
