Accordingly, [Glaciecola] lipolytica and [ Aestuariibacter] litoralis should be reassigned to the novel genus as Aliiglaciecola lipolytica comb. nov. (type strain, E3T = JCM 15139T = CGMCC 1.7001T) and Aliiglaciecola litoralis comb. nov. (type strain, KMM 3894T = JCM 15896T = NRIC 0754T), respectively. Aliiglaciecola lipolytica is proposed as the type species of this new genus. Physiologically, the combined characteristics of positive reactions for nitrate reduction and growth at 4 °C and 36 °C distinguish the new genus from the genera Aestuariibacter and Glaciecola by one to three traits. Moreover, the new genus is also distinguished from the genus Glaciecola by the fatty acid profile and distinguished from the genus Aestuariibacter by the differences of major isoprenoid quinone (MK-7 vs Q-8) and DNA G+C content (40.8–43.0 mol% vs 48.0–54.0 mol%)., UL https://www.microbiologyresearch.org/content/journal/ijsem/10.1099/ijs.0.045625-0
