Phylogenetic analyses based on 16S rRNA gene sequences showed that strain 311T was related closely to Cesiribacter andamanensis AMV16T (94.6 % similarity). The DNA G+C content of strain 311T was 47.1 mol% and the major respiratory quinone was menaquinone 7 (MK-7). The main cellular fatty acids were C16 : 1ω5c (29.9 %), iso-C15 : 0 (21.9 %), iso-C17 : 0 3-OH (13.3 %) and summed feature 4 (iso-C17 : 1 I and/or anteiso-C17 : 1 B; 13.0 %). Based on phenotypic and chemotaxonomic data and phylogenetic analysis, strain 311T is considered to represent a novel species of the genus Cesiribacter, for which the name Cesiribacter roseus sp. nov. is proposed. The type strain is 311T ( = CCTCC AB 207142T  = KACC 15456T)., UL https://www.microbiologyresearch.org/content/journal/ijsem/10.1099/ijs.0.028423-0
