The peptidoglycan type of strain H25-14T was A4α and lysine was the diagnostic diamino acid of the peptidoglycan. The predominant menaquinone was MK-9(H4) and the major fatty acids were anteiso-C15 : 0 and iso-C15 : 0. The DNA G+C content was 73.2 mol%. Phylogenetic analysis based on 16S rRNA gene sequence comparisons revealed that strain H25-14T was closely related to Paraoerskovia marina NBRC 104352T (98.3 %). However, DNA–DNA hybridization data and phenotypic characteristics revealed that strain H25-14T differed from P. marina NBRC 104352T. Therefore, strain H25-14T represents a novel species of the genus Paraoerskovia , for which the name Paraoerskovia sediminicola sp. nov. is proposed. The type strain is H25-14T ( = NBRC 108565T = DSM 25477T). An emended description of the genus Paraoerskovia is also proposed. %U https://www.microbiologyresearch.org/content/journal/ijsem/10.1099/ijs.0.043745-0
