Cells of strain CH22-21T were non-motile, ciliated short rods that formed creamy-white colonies on half-strength modified R2A agar. Chemotaxonomic results showed menaquinone MK-9(H6) as the predominant respiratory menaquinone, diphosphatidylglycerol, phosphatidylinositol and phosphatidylinositolmannoside as major polar lipids, 16 : 1ω5c, 16 : 0, 17 : 1ω8c and 18 : 1ω9c as major fatty acids, and a DNA G+C content of 71.8 mol%. Phylogenetic analysis based on 16S rRNA gene sequencing indicated that the strain formed a separate lineage within the order Acidimicrobiales , showing similarity values of <92.3 % with its closest phylogenetic neighbours. The combined genotypic and phenotypic data showed that strain CH22-21T could be distinguished from all genera within the order Acidimicrobiales and represented a novel species of a new genus in the family Iamiaceae , for which the name Aquihabitans dachungensis gen. nov., sp. nov. is proposed. The type strain of Aquihabitans dachungensis is CH22-21T ( = KCTC 19849T = JCM 17787T)., UL https://www.microbiologyresearch.org/content/journal/ijsem/10.1099/ijs.0.046060-0
