The isolate grew optimally at 30 °C, at pH 7 and in the presence of 0.5 % (w/v) NaCl. Phylogenetic analyses based on 16S rRNA gene sequences indicated that strain WB5T was clustered in the genus Cloacibacterium and shared the highest sequence similarity with C. normanense (98.2 % similarity). The predominant fatty acids were iso-C15 : 0 and iso-C17 : 0 3-OH. Menaquinone-6 was the major respiratory quinone. The genomic DNA G+C content was 29.6 mol%. The DNA–DNA hybridization values indicated <22 % genomic relatedness with other members of the genus Cloacibacterium . The results of physiological, biochemical, chemotaxonomic and genotypic analyses showed that strain WB5T represents a novel species of the genus Cloacibacterium , for which the name Cloacibacterium haliotis sp. nov. is proposed. The type strain is WB5T ( = KACC 17210T = JCM 18869T). %U https://www.microbiologyresearch.org/content/journal/ijsem/10.1099/ijs.0.054585-0
