Phylogenetic trees based on 16S rRNA gene sequence analysis showed that XF-6RT belonged to the genus Hymenobacter. The greatest 16S rRNA gene sequence similarities of strain XF-6RT were with Hymenobacter soli PB17T (96.4 %) and Hymenobacter saemangeumensis GSR0100T (95.8 %). Summed feature 3 (C16 : 1ω7c and/or C16 : 1ω6c), iso-C15 : 0, C16 : 1ω5c and anteiso-C15 : 0 were the major fatty acids (>10 %). The only menaquinone was menaquinone-7. The major polar lipids were phosphatidylethanolamine, four aminolipids, four phosphoaminolipids and three lipids. The DNA G+C content was 62 mol%. On the basis of the polyphasic taxonomic analysis, strain XF-6RT is considered to represent a novel species of the genus Hymenobacter, for which the name Hymenobacter monticola sp. nov. is proposed. The type strain is XF-6RT ( = KCTC 42733T = CCTCC AB 2015206T)., UL https://www.microbiologyresearch.org/content/journal/ijsem/10.1099/ijsem.0.000792
