Phylogenetic analysis based on 16S rRNA gene sequences revealed that strain HWE2-01T belongs to the family Microbacteriaceae and showed sequence similarity levels of 97.1–97.7 % with species of the genus Salinibacterium , 95.9–97.6 % with species of the genus Leifsonia and 97.1 % with Homoserinimonas aerilata . The highest sequence similarity (97.7 %) was with Salinibacterium xinjiangense 0543T. The genomic DNA G+C content of the novel strain was 68.1 mol%. The predominant cellular fatty acid of strain HWE2-01T was anteiso-C15 : 0, major menaquinones were MK-10, MK-9 and MK-11, and diagnostic polar lipids were diphosphatidylglycerol and phosphatidylglycerol. The peptidoglycan of the novel strain contained 2,4-diaminobutyric acid, alanine, glycine and glutamic acid. The cell-wall sugars of strain HWE2-01T were galactose, mannose and rhamnose. The murein was of the acetyl type. Based on the results of the phenotypic and phylogenetic analysis, strain HWE2-01T differed in some respects from other members of the family Microbacteriaceae . Therefore, strain HWE2-01T is proposed to represent a novel species of a new genus in the family Microbacteriaceae with the name Conyzicola lurida gen. nov., sp. nov. (type strain = HWE2-01T = KCTC 29231T = JCM 19257T). %U https://www.microbiologyresearch.org/content/journal/ijsem/10.1099/ijs.0.056754-0
