Cells of strain 5GHs31-2T were Gram-stain-negative, rod-shaped, polar flagellated and yellow-pigmented. The isolate was aerobic, catalase-negative and oxidase-positive and grew optimally at 28–30 °C and pH 7.0. Strain 5GHs31-2T revealed the highest 16S rRNA gene sequence similarities with Fulvimonas soli LMG 19981T (97.6 %), Dyella thiooxydans ATSB10T (97.5 %) and Frateuria terrea VA24T (97.4 %). Furthermore, the neighbour-joining tree showed that strain 5GHs31-2T was a representative of a member of the genus Fulvimonas . Strain 5GHs31-2T contained iso-C16 : 0, summed feature 9 (iso-C17 : 1ω9c and/or C16 : 0 10-methyl), iso-C15 : 0 and iso-C17 : 0 as the major fatty acids, phosphatidylethanolamine, phosphatidylglycerol, diphosphatidylglycerol and an aminolipid as the main polar lipids and Q-8 as the predominant quinone. The genomic DNA G+C content of 5GHs31-2T was 73.0 mol%. According to DNA–DNA hybridization experiments, DNA–DNA relatedness values between strain 5GHs31-2T and its closest phylogenetic neighbours were below 70 %. Based on the taxonomic data, strain 5GHs31-2T represents a novel species of the genus Fulvimonas , for which the name Fulvimonas yonginensis sp. nov. is proposed. The type strain is 5GHs31-2T ( = KACC 16952T = DSM 28344T)., UL https://www.microbiologyresearch.org/content/journal/ijsem/10.1099/ijs.0.064642-0
