The strain designated JC490T was oxidase- and catalase-positive. The 16S rRNA gene sequence analysis and sequence comparison data indicated that strain JC490T was a member of the genus Chryseobacterium and was closely related to Chryseobacterium jeonii AT1047T (96.4 %) and with other members of the genus Chryseobacterium (<96.3 %). The DNA G+C content of strain JC490T was 34 mol%. Strain JC490T had phosphatidylethanolamine, two unidentified aminolipids, two unidentified phospholipids and five unidentified polar lipids. Menaquinone-6 was the only respiratory quinone found. Iso-C15 : 0, anteiso-C15 : 0 and iso-C17 : 0 3-OH were the major fatty acids of strain JC490T. On the basis of physiological, genotypic, phylogenetic and chemotaxonomic analyses, it is concluded that strain JC490T constitutes a novel species of the genus Chryseobacterium , for which the name Chryseobacterium salipaludis sp. nov. is proposed. The type strain is JC490T (=KCTC 52835T=LMG 30048T). %U https://www.microbiologyresearch.org/content/journal/ijsem/10.1099/ijsem.0.002536
