The strain grew at 1–30 °C, oxidized thiosulfate and accumulated polyhydroxyalkanoates. Photosynthetic pigments were represented by bacteriochlorophyll a and carotenoids. Phylogenetic analysis based on 16S rRNA gene sequences indicated that strain W37T was most closely related to members of the genera Roseococcus and Rubritepida (with sequence similarities of <92.8 %) but formed a distinct lineage in the family Acetobacteraceae . The polar lipid profile comprised diphosphatidylglycerol, phosphatidylglycerol, phosphatidylethanolamine, phosphatidylcholine, three unidentified aminolipids and one other unidentified lipid. The predominant cellular fatty acids were C18 : 1ω7c and summed feature 3 (C16 : 1ω7c and/or iso-C15 : 0 2-OH). The DNA G+C content of strain W37T was 68.2 mol%. On the basis of phenotypic characteristics and phylogenetic analysis, strain W37T represents a novel species of a new genus in the family Acetobacteraceae , for which the name Humitalea rosea gen. nov., sp. nov. is proposed. The type strain of the type species is W37T ( = CIP 110261T = LMG 26243T).", }
