On the basis of phylogenetic analysis, DNA–DNA hybridization data, physiological and biochemical characteristics and fatty acid compositions, the organism was shown to belong to the genus Labrys whilst representing a novel species within this genus. We propose to classify strain Liujia-146T (=BCRC 17578T=LMG 23578T) as the type strain of Labrys neptuniae sp. nov.", }
