Phylogenetic analysis revealed the distinct positioning of strain ARC111T within the genus Subsaxibacter . The G+C content of ARC111T was 37.8±0.5 mol% while DNA–DNA hybridization depicted 35.6 % relatedness with S. arcticus JCM30334T. Strain ARC111T had C15 : 0iso, C16 : 0iso 3-OH, C15 : 1iso G, C15 : 0anteiso, C16 : 1iso H and C17 : 0iso 3-OH as major (>5 % of the total) cellular fatty acids and MK-6 was the predominant respiratory quinone. The polar lipid profile of strain ARC111T consisted of phosphatidylethanolamine, aminolipid and an unidentified lipid. Strain ARC111T harboured sym-homospermidine as the major polyamine. Characteristic differences obtained using polyphasic analysis of strain ARC111T and its closest relatives suggested that strain ARC111T is a novel species of genus Subsaxibacter , for which the name Subsaxibacter sediminis sp. nov. has been proposed. The type strain is ARC111T (=MCC 3191T=KCTC 42965T=LMG 29783T=GDMCC 1.1201T).", }
