Strain 0543T was able to grow at 4–23 °C, with optimum growth at 18–19 °C. The major fatty acids were anteiso-C15 : 0 (58.36 %), iso-C16 : 0 (21.13 %), iso-C14 : 0 (10.25 %) and anteiso-C17 : 0 (7.16 %). The genomic DNA G+C content was 63.5 mol% and the major menaquinone was MK-10. Phylogenetic analysis based on 16S rRNA gene sequences revealed that strain 0543T represented a lineage within the family Microbacteriaceae, with the highest similarity of 97.4 % with Salinibacterium amurskyense KMM 3673T. On the basis of polyphasic, chemotaxonomic, physiological and biochemical evidence from this study, the novel species Salinibacterium xinjiangense sp. nov. is proposed; the type strain is 0543T(=CGMCC 1.5381T =JCM 13926T)., UL https://www.microbiologyresearch.org/content/journal/ijsem/10.1099/ijs.0.65802-0
