Sequence similarity between strain SMC46T and other members of the family Microbacteriaceae was ≤97 %, the highest sequence similarity being with Frigoribacterium faeni 801T and Frondihabitans australicus E1HC-02T (both 97.0 %). Some chemotaxonomic properties of strain SMC46T were consistent with those of the family Microbacteriaceae : MK-11 and MK-12 as the predominant menaquinones, anteiso-C15 : 0, iso-C16 : 0 and anteiso-C17 : 0 as the major cellular fatty acids and diphosphatidylglycerol, phosphatidylglycerol and an unidentified glycolipid as the polar lipids. However, strain SMC46T contained a B-type peptidoglycan not previously found in the family Microbacteriaceae . The DNA G+C content was 68 mol%. On the basis of phenotypic, chemotaxonomic and phylogenetic distinctiveness, strain SMC46T was considered to represent a novel genus and species in the family Microbacteriaceae , for which the name Compostimonas suwonensis gen. nov., sp. nov. is proposed. The type strain of the type species is SMC46T ( = KACC 13354T  = NBRC 106304T)., UL https://www.microbiologyresearch.org/content/journal/ijsem/10.1099/ijs.0.036343-0
