The 16S rRNA gene sequence analysis revealed that strain MEBiC06243T showed high similarity with Neptunomonas naphthovorans NAG-2N-126T (96.3 %). Growth was observed at 10–39 °C (optimum 29 °C), at pH 6.0–9.0 (optimum pH 7) and with 0–7 % (optimum 2.5 %) NaCl. The predominant cellular fatty acids were C10 : 0 3-OH (6.1 %), C12 : 0 (5.8 %), C16 : 0 (30.5 %), C18 : 1ω7c (21.6 %) and summed feature 3 (comprising C15 : 0 2-OH and/or C16 : 1ω7c; 30.7 %). The DNA G+C content was 41.4 mol%. The major respiratory quinone was Q-8. Phosphatidylethanolamine, phosphatidylglycerol, diphosphatidylglycerol, two unidentified lipids, one unidentified aminophospholipid and three unidentified aminolipids were detected as major polar lipids. On the basis of this polyphasic taxonomic data, strain MEBiC06243T should be classified as a novel species of the genus Neptunomonas proposed as Neptunomonas acidivorans sp. nov. The type strain is MEBiC06243T ( = KCCM 42975T = JCM 18291T). An emended description of the genus Neptunomonas is also given., UL https://www.microbiologyresearch.org/content/journal/ijsem/10.1099/ijs.0.064253-0
